1,4-Bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane (btb) was prepared according to literature method (Gromova et al., 2000). A 15 mL me thanol of ZnCl2(0.136 g, 1 mmol) was added to a 15 ml me thanol of KSCN (0.348 g, 2 mmol). The resulting precipitate of KCl was filtered off. A 15 ml aqueous solution of btb (0.192 g, 1 mmol) was added to the above filtrate. The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux temperature for 2 h. The colourless single crystals of the title complex were obtained by evaporating the reaction solution at room temperature for one week.
The H atoms were placed in a calculated positions, with C—H = 0.93 or 0.97 Å. All H atoms were included in the final cycle of refinement in riding mode, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N,O).

Recently a new class of flexible ligands, [bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-alkanes], have been found to be very effective in the formation of various interesting extended structures. As bridging ligands, these 1,2,4-triazole derivatives show a great coordination diversity. Among these ligands, 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane(btb), with a appropriate length between two hetercyclic donors, is expected to play an important role in the construction of transition-metal supramolecular structures. To our knowledge, there are a few reports on the crystal structures of manganese(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with bridging 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane ligand [Li et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2006]. As part of our investigations of the coordination mode of the ligand in metal complexes incorporating 1,2,4-triazole derivatives, we here report the synthesis and crystal structure of a new polymeric Zn(II) with btb bridges.
The molecular structure of the title complex, with the atom-numbering scheme, is shown in Fig. 1. The Zn(II) atoms are surrounded by two triazoles and two NCS– ions, forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The Zn—N bond distances of btb [2.017 (2) Å] are slightly longer than the Zn—N from NCS [1.934 (3) Å]. The N—Zn—N angles around Zn centers range from 102.75 (8)o to 117.45 (13)o. The Zn—N—C angles are 176.8 (3)o, which deviating from 180° expected for sp hybrid orbital of the N atom. The NCS group is almost linear with a N(4)—C(5)—S(1) angle of 177.0 (3)o. The C—N distances [1.143 (4) Å] and C—S distances [1.610 (3) Å] in the SCN moiety show the normal structure of the thiocyanate in the complex.
As shown in Fig. 2, the Zn(II) ions are linked by btb ligands, building up coordination polymers to one-dimensional zigzag chain. The btb ligand adopts an anti-gauche conformation in this complex.
