In the title complex, [Zn(NCO)(2)(C(7)H(8)N(4))(2)], the Zn(II) ion exhibits a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The coordination environment is formed by two 5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (dmtp) ligands, coordinated through the N atom in position 3, and two cyanate anions inter-acting by their N atoms. Supra-molecular dimers are generated by stacking inter-actions be...

The amount of active groups of cyanate esters and imidocarbamates present on cyanogen-bromide-activated paper discs were estimated. The protein-binding capacity of activated discs was found to be dependent on the amount of these active groups. The results suggested that monitoring of active groups on activated discs can help in preparing consistent allergosorbent for immunoassays.

In the title compound, [Hg(NCS)(2)(C(11)H(6)N(2)O)], the Hg(II) atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by an N,N'-bidentate diaza-fluoren-9-one ligand and two thio-cyanate anions. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are effective in the stabilization of the structure.

In the title complex, [Cu(2)(CN)(NCS)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], which was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions, both Cu(I) atoms have a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. They are coordinated by two N atoms of one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one bridging thio-cyanate anion and one bridging cyanide anion. In the crystal structure, infinite helical {Cu-CN-Cu-SCN}(n) chains are formed along...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(10)N)(2)[Pt(NCS)(4)], contains a protonated acridine molecule and one half of a [Pt(NCS)(4)](2-) anion. In the complex anion, the Pt(II) ion is located on an inversion centre and is four-coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by four S atoms from four thio-cyanate ligands. The compound displays numerous inter-molecular π-...

The title compound, C(9)H(12)N(2)OS, was obtained unexpectedly in a multicomponent reaction of an equimolar ratio of phenyl isothio-cyanate, malononitrile and amino-ethanol. The -C(H(2))-N(H)-(C=S)-N(H)- methyl-thio-urea-methane group is almost normal to the phenyl ring, with a dihedral angle of 71.13 (9)°. The N-C-C-O torsion angle is 72.8 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯...

In the centrosymmetric binuclear title compound, [Pb(2)(N(3))(2)(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(4)], the N-donor atoms of one N-heterocycle and the N-donor atom of a thio-cyanate anion along with the sterically active lone-pair electrons comprise an approximate square; a plane through three atoms of this square is twisted slightly with respect to the square made up of the other four atoms (two from the...

The crystal structure of the title salt, [Li(CH3CN)4][B(NCS)4], is composed of discrete cations and anions. Both the Li and B atoms show a tetra-hedral coordination by four equal ligands. The aceto-nitrile and iso-thio-cyanate ligands are linear. The bond angles at the B atom are close to the ideal tetra-hedral value [108.92 (18)-109.94 (16)°], but the bond angles at the Li atom show larger dev...

The title compound, C(10)H(10)N(3) (+)·NCS(-)·CH(3)CN, is the acetonitrile solvate of the thio-cyanate salt of protonated dipyridin-2-yl-amine. Protonation occurs at one of the pyridine N atoms. The mol-ecular geometry around the central N atom is essentially planar (sum of angles = 359.89°). In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, as well as C-H⋯S contacts link the different residues into chains...
