Bis(cyanato-κN)bis(5,7-dimethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-κN3)zinc

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 between the pyrimidine rings of two ligands related by an inversion center [centroid-centroid distance = 3.5444 (18) Å].
