(Acetato-κO)(2-bromo-6-{[3-(dimethyl-aza-nium-yl)propyl-imino-κN]meth-yl}phenolato-κO)(thio-cyanato-κN)zinc

Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(CH(3)COO)(NCS)(C(12)H(17)BrN(2)O)], the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, binding to a phenolate O and an imine N atom of the Schiff base ligand, the O atom of an acetate ligand and one thio-cyanate N atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.
