Bis[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methyldithiocarbamato-κS][2,4,6-tris(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine-κ3N1,N2,N6]zinc dioxane sesquisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C4H8NOS2)2(C18H12N6)]·1.5C4H8O2, comprises a Zn-containing molecule and one and a half dioxane molecules as one of the solvent molecules is located about a crystallographic inversion centre. The approximately square-pyramidal N3S2 donor set is defined by two monodentate dithiocarbamate ligands and two pyridine and one triazine N atom from the tridentate triazine ligand. Molecules are connected into a supramolecular array via O—H...S and O—H...N hydrogen bonds. These stack along the b axis and the solvent molecules reside in the channels thus formed.
