Studies on preparation and thermal behaviour of tetraammine zinc (II) dithionate have been carried out. In the thermal decomposition between 100 and 350-degrees-C the releasing order of gaseous products is NH3, SO2 + NH3 and 2 NH3 and the final product above 350-degrees-C is ZnSO4. Tentative structural studies have been made by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic structure (space group Pmn2(1)) with a = 6.937, b = 6.365, and c = 12.285 angstrom and Z = 2.
