(4-Hydr-oxy-2-oxidobenzaldehyde thio-semicarbazonato-κO,N,S)(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')zinc(II) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate monohydrate.

The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(8)H(7)N(3)O(2)S)(C(12)H(8)N(2))]·2C(2)H(6)OS·H(2)O, is N,N'-chelated by the N-heterocycle and N,O,S-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base in a distorted square-pyramidal enviroment. Hydrogen bonds link the mononuclear mol-ecule, the water and the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) mol-ecules into a linear chain motif. One DMSO mol-ecule is disordered over two positions in respect of the S atom in an approximate 1:1 ratio.
