The first organometallic zinc hydrazide-thiolate cluster, [(MeZn)2(PhSZn)(HNNMe2)(H2N-NMe2)(SPh)2]2 (1) has been prepared by alkane elimination from dimethylzinc solutions upon treatment with N,N-dimethylhydrazine and thiophenol and characterised by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 forms asymmetric aggregates containing a Zn3N4S2 core. The core features rings with different connectivities. A seven-membered ZnSZnNNZnS ring comprises three fivemembered rings, two of a ZnSZnNN and one of a ZnNZnNN atom sequence. Intermolecular S···H bonding is observed in the crystal.
