The Schiff base 2-[(4-methylphenyl)iminomethyl]-6-methoxyphenol (HL) forms a complex with a Zn2+ atom and two independent thiocyanate ions, [Zn(NCS)2(C15H15NO2)2], in which two phenolate O atoms the two independent Schiff base ligands are coordinated to thee Zn2+ atom. The protonated imine N atoms a...

Description
Summary:The Schiff base 2-[(4-methylphenyl)iminomethyl]-6-methoxyphenol (HL) forms a complex with a Zn2+ atom and two independent thiocyanate ions, [Zn(NCS)2(C15H15NO2)2], in which two phenolate O atoms the two independent Schiff base ligands are coordinated to thee Zn2+ atom. The protonated imine N atoms are involved in an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the phenoxide group. The Zn atom is also coordinated by two N atoms of two thiocyanate ligands. The coordination environment of the Zn atom is distorted-tetrahedral.
