square-planar coordination geometry. The five-membered chelate ring adopts an envelope conformation with a methylene C atom in the flap position. The S and C atoms of the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent molecule are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.8976 (18):0.1024 (18) ratio. The DMSO O atom accepts three C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from an adjacent complex molecule.
