title: Bis{2-eth-oxy-6-[2-(methyl-ammonio)ethyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato}thio-cyanato-zinc(II) nitrate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(NCS)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O(2))(2)]NO(3), the Zn(II) ion is chelated by the phenolate O and imine N atoms from two zwitterionic Schiff base ligands and is also coordinated by the N atom of a thio-cyanate ligand, giving a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the complex cation. The nitrate anions are linked to the complex cations through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
