A sequence of metal-organic frameworks containing phthalazine and group 12 thiocyanates has been prepared. Analysis of the fundamental mid - and far - range FT-IR vibrational modes of SCN¯ (νCN, δNCS, and νCS), coupled with 13C NMR chemical shifts have elucidated the thiocyanate mode of coordination (terminal M-N, terminal M-S or binuclear bridging). Incorporation of elemental composition allows for structural supposition. Confirming X-ray crystallographic studies are underway and will be reported.
