L.-J. Ye and Z. You

Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(NCS)₂(C₄H₇N₃O)₂], the Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two 2-amino-1-methylimidazol-4(5H)-one (creatinine) ligands and by another two N atoms from two terminal thiocyanate ligands in a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The molecule possesses a crystallographic twofold symmetry axis. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds to form chains.
