Abstract :
The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Zn(SCN)2(C6H6N2O)2], consists of one Zn2+ cation located on a twofold rotation axis, as well as of one thiocyanate anion and one neutral isonicotinamide ligand, both occupying general positions. The Zn2+ cation is tetrahedrally coordinated into a discrete complex by the N atoms of two symmetry-related thiocyanate anions and by the pyridine N atoms of two isonicotinamide ligands. The complexes are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O, and weak intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional network.
