Abstract

In the title complex, {[Zn(NCS)2(C15H15N9)2]·H2O}n, the ZnII ion is located on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by N atoms from four bridging 1,3,5-tris(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (ttmb) ligands and two terminal SCN− counter-anions. Two of the three triazol groups in each ttmb ligand link the ZnII atoms, forming a looped-chain structure along [0-11]. The lattice water molecule shows half-occupancy due to disorder around an inversion centre.
