Bis(2-methoxy-6-{[2-(methylammonio)ethyl]iminomethyl}phenolato)thiocyanatozinc(II) thiocyanate hemihydrate

S. Peng and F. Zhang

Abstract: The title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(C₁₁H₁₆N₂O₂)₂(NCS)]NCS·0.5H₂O, consists of a complex cation, a thiocyanate anion, and half of a water molecule. 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 thiocyanate 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.
