Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₁₃H₁₀N₃O₃)(NCS)(CH₄O)], is a mononuclear zinc(II) complex. The Zn^II atom has a square-pyramidal coordination geometry. In the basal plane, the Zn^II atom is coordinated by one O atom and two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by the N atom of a thiocyanate anion. The apical position is occupied by the O atom of a coordinated methanol molecule. In the crystal structure, the molecules are linked via intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the a axis.
