Abstract

In the title complex, [Zn(CH(3)COO)(2)(C(20)H(14)N(4))(2)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) atom, which lies on a crystallographic twofold axis, is coordinated by two O atoms of two acetate ligands and two N atoms from two 1,3-bis-(benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The complex mol-ecules and solvent water mol-ecules are connected via O-H⋯N, O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
