In the title complex, [Zn(NCS)2(C9H9N3O)2], the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from the NCS- anions and two N atoms from two 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole ligands in a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. Three intermolecular weak hydrogen-bonding contacts of the types C-H...N, C-H...S and C-H...O are observed in the crystal structure.
