N1]bis(thiocyanato-
N)zinc(II)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.
The compound was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. A mixture of L (L=4-(1,2,4-triazol)-1-methoxy-benzene) (0.3 mmol, 0.045 g), ZnSO4˙7H2O (0.1 mmol, 0.029 g), KSCN (0.2 mmol, 0.019 g) and water (10 mL) was placed in a 25 mL acid digestion bomb and heated at 160° for two days, then equably cooled to room temperature for three days. After washed by 5 ml water for twice, colorless block crystals of the title compound were obtained.
The H atoms (methyl) on the ligands were allowed to ride on their parent atoms with C—H distances of 0.96Å and Uiso(H)=1.5Ueq(C), and the rest C—H distances of 0.93Å and Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C). All of the non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The organic ligands, 1,2,4-triazole and its derivatives continue to attract considerable attention due to the luminescent, magnetic, and electronic properties of their complexes and the potential application in material science (Yin et al., 2007; Zhou, et al., 2007; Han et al., 2006). On the other hand, 1,2,4-triazole and its derivatives combine the coordination geometry of both pyrazole and imidazole with regard to the arrangement and coordination of their three heteroatoms. Compared with the chelating to the metal centers with the nitrogen atom in the 1,2-positions (Thomann et al., 1994), it is familiar that the nitrogen atom serve as the solo coordinated atom (Ling & Zhang, 2007). In order to explore furthur the coordination chemistry of the 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole system (hereafter abbreviated as L), the title complex was synthesized.
The coordination geometry of the ZnII ion is a slightly distorted tetrahedron, in which each ZnII ion is coordinated to two nitrogen atoms from the NCS- anions and two nitrogen atoms from two ligands L. (Fig. 1). The separations of Zn—N range from 1.923 (6) to 2.009 (5)Å (Table 1), which is close to the corresponding distances in the 4-coordinated Zn compound (2.050 (4)Å and 2.023 (4) Å) reported previously (Han et al., 2006), while the average distance of Zn—N is 2.162 (2)Å in the 6-coordinated (Ling & Zhang, 2007) and 2.065 (2)Å in the 5-coordinated (Yin et al., 2007) compounds, respectively. The bond angles around ZnII ions vary between 102.2 (2)° and 116.4 (2)°. The central ZnII ion, is coordinated with the L ligands in the 1-position, which is the common coordination mode (Ling & Zhang, 2007) of 1,2,4-Triazole and its derivatives, differently from that in the 1,2-position (Thomann et al., 1994). As the important structural parameters, the dihedral angles between the triazole and phenyl rings of the two L ligands are distinct, that of C1—N3—C3—C8 is equal to 39.2 (9)°, while the value of C10—N6—C12—C17 is 93.8 (8)°. With regard to the two trans thiocyanato NCS- anions, the group is almost linear with an N7—C19—S1 angle of 178.8 (8)° and N8—C20—S2 angle of 178.1 (7)°. The connection between Zn atoms and NCS groups are bent with a C20—N8—Zn1 angle of 168.1 (6)°, and a C19—N7—Zn1 angle of 160.9 (6)° (Zhao et al., 2002). Three intermoleular hydrogen bonding contacts of the type C—H···N, C—H···S and C—H···O are observed in the title structure (Table 2).
