Methanol[4-nitro-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyliminomethyl)phenolato](thiocyanato)zinc(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Zn(C13H10N3O3)(NCS)(CH4O)], is a mononuclear zinc(II) complex. The ZnII atom has a square-pyramidal coordination geometry. In the basal plane, the ZnII atom is coordinated by one O atom and two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by the N atom of a thio­cyanate anion. The apical position is occupied by the O atom of a coordinated methanol mol­ecule. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the a axis.
