RESUMO
In the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C24H22N4O)]·C3H7NO, the Zn(II) cation is N,N',N''-chelated by one 2-({4-[2,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-4-yl]phen-yl}(meth-yl)amino)-ethanol ligand and coordinated by two thio-cyanate anions in a distorted N5 trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. In the mol-ecule, the three pyridine rings are approximately coplanar [maximum deviation = 0.026â (5)â Å], and the mean plane of the three pyridine rings is twisted to the benzene ring with a small dihedral angle of 5.9â (2)°. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules are linked by weak C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds into supra-molecular chains propagated along [110]; π-π stacking is observed between adjacent chains [centroid-centroid distance = 3.678â (4)â Å]. The di-methyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules are linked with the complex chains via weak C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds.
