Abstract
A new Schiff base zinc(II) complex with the formula 2[Zn(C12H18N2O2)2(NCS)]·[Zn(NCS)4] was prepared and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound consists of two mononuclear [Zn(C12H18N2O2)2(NCS)] complex cations, in which the Zn atom is in a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, and one [Zn(NCS)4] complex anion, in which the Zn atom is in a tetrahedral geometry.
