Organic synthesis is widely regarded as having begun nearly two centuries ago, with Friedrich Wöhler’s 1828 discovery that ammonium cyanate could be converted into urea [2]. Since that seminal finding, chemical synthesis has advanced to extents which must have been unimaginable to its early practitioners. The numerous paradigm-shifts which have taken place throughout the history of synthesis ha...

In the title compound, [Zn(NCS)(2)(C(10)H(15)N(3))], the Zn atom is five-coordinated by the three N-donor atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms from two thio-cyanate anions, forming a distorted ZnN(5) trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry for the metal ion. The side chain of the ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.655 (12):0.345 (12) ratio. In the crystal, mol-e...

In the title complex, [Co(NCO)(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Co atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands and two N atoms from two cyanate anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Co atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. The average Co-N bond length is 2.126 (7) Å. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

In the neutral title complex, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(14)H(18)N(2)O(2))]·H(2)O, the Ni(II) ion has a distorted octa-hedral geometry with cis-isothio-cyanate ligands.

In the title compound, [Ni(NCS)(2)(C(13)H(19)N(3)O)(H(2)O)], the Ni(II) ion is six-coordinated by the N,N',N''-tridentate Schiff base, the N atoms of two thio-cyanate ligands and one water O atom in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Intra-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, O-H⋯S, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol-ecules into layers parallel to the ac ...

The title complex, [Ni(2)(C(11)H(11)Br(2)N(2)O)(2)(NCS)(2)], is a thio-cyanate-bridged dinuclear nickel(II) complex. The asymmetric unit contains two molecules. Both Ni atoms in each molecule have a square-pyramidal coordination geometry, and each center is bound by one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and by one N atom of a bridging thio-cyanate ligand, which define the basal planes...

In the title complex, [Co(NCS)(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)(C(11)H(6)N(2)O)], the Co(II) atom has a distorted octa-hedral coordination with the N atoms of the 4,5-diaza-fluoren-9-one ligand and two N atoms from imidazole ligands in the equatorial positions and the axial sites occupied by two N atoms of the thio-cyanate ligand. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding forms a one-dimensional motif parallel...

In the title cocrystal, [Ni(C(11)H(10)N(3)O(2))(2)]·[Ni(NCS)(2)(C(11)H(11)N(3)O(2))(H(2)O)], both Ni(II) ions are in disorted octa-hedral coordination environments. One Ni(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms and two O atoms from two tridentate 6-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)picolinate (DPP) ligands, while the other Ni(II) ion is coordinated by a tridentate 6-((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl))...

In the title mol-ecular salt, C(6)H(16)N(+)·NCS(-), the cation possesses approximate local twofold rotation symmetry. One of its NH atoms forms a hydrogen bond to a thio-cyanate N atom and the other to a thio-cyanate S atom. This results in [001] chains of alternating cations and anions.

The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Mn(NCS)(2)(C(16)H(18)N(4))], has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry, with the Mn(II) atom lying on the rotation axis. The Mn(II) atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two N atoms of two thio-cyanate ligands, forming a distorted octa-hedral geometry.
