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

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 ZnII 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.
