Abstract
In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C12H10ClN)2], the Zn2+ cation is N-coordinated by two terminally bonded thiocyante anions and by two 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the discrete complex, the central Zn2+ cation of which is located on a twofold rotation axis. The discrete complexes are linked into layers via a weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction, with a H⋯Cl distance of 2.85 Å and a C—H⋯Cl angle of 151°. These layers extend parallel to the ab plane and are held together by dispersion forces only.
