The crystal structure described by Zn(CH3)2 is Indium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two dimethylzinc molecules. Zn(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent C(1) atoms. C(1) is bonded to one Zn(1), one H(1), one H(2), and one H(3) atom to form corner-sharing CZnH3 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second H site, H(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the third H site, H(3) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. is represented by the Crystallographic Information File (CIF) [CIF]
