Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(NCS)(2)(C(10)H(15)N(3))], the Zn atom is five-coordinated by the three N-donor atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms from two thio-cyanate anions, forming a distorted ZnN(5) 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, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, generating [100] chains.
