Metal-organic hybrid frameworks are being extensively studied due in part to the wide range of optical and electronic properties they imbue as well as their numerous applications in the field of solid state chemistry.  This investigation reports the preparation and characterization of several metallo-organic complexes containing group 12 thiocyanates with 1, 4-dicyanobenzene and its derivative 1, 4-ditetrazoylbenzene. Mid and far-ranged FT-IR’s coupled with <sup>13</sup>C NMR analysis provides the mode of coordination for the thiocyanate moiety: terminal M-N, terminal M-S or binuclear bridging.  Elemental analysis will be included to assist in structural implications.  Single crystal x-ray crystallography studies are underway.
