Abstract: The title salt, [Zn(C 10 H 7 NOS) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ](BF 4 ) 2 , crystallizes isotypically with the Co II analog in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n . In the complex cation, the central Zn II atom (site symmetry 1 ) has a pseudo-octahedral coordination environment with bonding to pyridyl N [2.0624 (18) Å] and carbonyl O [2.1030 (13) Å] atoms from the 2-thienyl 2-pyridyl ketone ligands. The remaining bonds are to water molecules [2.1598 (16) Å], which form an O—H...F hydrogen-bonded layer with BF 4 − counter-ions.
