Bis(2-meth-oxy-6-{[2-(methyl-ammonio)eth-yl]imino-meth-yl}phenolato)thio-cyanato-zinc(II) thio-cyanate hemihydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(C(11)H(16)N(2)O(2))(2)(NCS)]NCS·0.5H(2)O, consists of a complex cation, a thio-cyanate anion, and half of a water mol-ecule. The Zn(II) atom in the cation is five-coordinated by two imine N and two phenolate O atoms from two bidentate Schiff base ligands, and by one N atom of a thio-cyanate ligand, forming a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The ammonio H atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding with the ligand O atoms and the solvent water molecules (site occupation factor 0.5), which partially determines the conformation of the ligands.
