Bis(1 H-imidazole-κ N3)bis­(4-methyl­benzoato-κ O)zinc(II) 4-methyl­benzoic acid disolvate.

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, [Zn(C8H7O2)2(C7H6N2)2]·2C8H8O2, is composed of a mononuclear ZnII complex, which possesses twofold rotation symmetry, and two uncoordinated 4-methyl­benzoic acid mol­ecules. The ZnII atom displays a four-coordinate distorted tetra­hedral configuration, formed by two carboxylate O atoms of two monodentate 4-methyl­benzoate ligands and two N atoms of two benzimidazole mol­ecules. In the crystal structure, complex mol­ecules are linked by the 4-methyl­benzoic acid mol­ecules via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, giving rise to the formation of a supra­molecular structure.
