  ABSTRACT: Reaction of zinc acetate, potassium thiocyanate and the ligand 3-ampy gave the discrete tetrahedral complex [Zn(NCS)2(3-ampy)2] in which 3-ampy chelates in a monodentate fashion through its pyridine-N atom. It was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared, and elemental analysis. Density Functional Theory calculations were performed in order to gain insights into the role of weak molecular interactions in the complex that influence the self-assembly process and crystal packing. X---H (X = H, C, N and S) inter-actions. S-H interactions (30.2%) were found to be the main interactions that hold the molecules in the crystal structure. Furthermore, the thermolysis of the complex was studied in order to evaluate whether it was suitable as a precursor for zinc sulphide.
