Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C10H15N3)], the Zn atom is five-coordinated by the three N-donor atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms from two thiocyanate anions, forming a distorted ZnN5 trigonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry for the metal ion. The side chain of the ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.655 (12):0.345 (12) ratio. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...S hydrogen bonds, generating [100] chains.
