description

The title compound, caesium silver zinc tetrathiocyanate, crystallizes in two polymorphic forms, in space groups P2(1)/n and C2/c. Both structures form a continuous three-dimensional network. The structure in C2/c contains a delocalized Ag atom in a binuclear-like anion, where two [Ag(NCS)(4)] units (delocalized Ag as an average) share two common NCS(-) ligands.
