The title compound, [Zn(NCS)(2)(C(12)H(17)N(3)O)], was prepared by the reaction of zinc acetate with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde, 2-morpholinoethyl-amine and ammonium thio-cyanate in an ethanol solution. The Zn(II) atom is five coordinate with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry, coordinating with three N atoms of the Schiff base (2-morpholinoeth-yl)(2-pyridylmethyl-idene)amine and two N atoms from two thio-cyanate ligands. The morpholine ring adopts a chair configuration.
