The title mononuclear zinc(II) complex, [Zn(C(11)H(16)N(2)O(2))(2)-(NCS)] NCS center dot 0.5H(2)O, consists of a complex cation, a thiocyanate anion, and half of a water molecule. The Zn II 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 fa...
