Dichloridobis{2-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-benzimidazole-κN (3)}-zinc(II).

In the title complex, [ZnCl2(C10H9N5)2], the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two 2-[(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1H-benzimidazole (tmb) ligands and by two chloride ligands in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In the tmb ligands, the benzimidazole rings systems are essentially planar, with maximum deviations from the mean plane of 0.021 (3) and 0.
