cis-Bis(2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')bis-(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)zinc bis-(tetra-phenyl-borate) dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate.

In the mononuclear title complex, Zn(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)(2)·C(2)H(6)OS, the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine mol-ecules and by the O atoms of two cis-disposed dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The S atom and the methyl groups of one of the coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules are disordered in a 0.509 (2):0.491 (2) ratio. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol-ecules and tetra-phenyl-borate anions.
