Syntheses, characterization, crystal structure and antifungal activity of four tetraphenylphosphonium bis(N-R-sulfonyldithiocarbimato)zincate(II) salts

► Four bis(R-PhSO2-dithiocarbimato)-Zn(II)-complexes (R = F, Cl, Br, I) were obtained. ► Their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. ► Zn(II) cation is coordinated by two S,S-chelated dithiocarbimate anions. ► The new complexes are active against the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.
