title: Acrylato[tris-(1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth-yl)amine]zinc(II) perchlorate-dimethyl-formamide-methanol (1/1/1.5) at 153 (2) K.
abstract: In the title complex, [Zn(C(3)H(3)O(2))(C(27)H(27)N(7))](ClO(4))·C(3)H(7)NO·1.5CH(4)O, the Zn(II) ion is five-coordinated by four N atoms from a tris-(1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth-yl)amine (Mentb) ligand and one O atom from an acrylate ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with approximate mol-ecular C(3) symmetry. The atoms of the acrylate ligand are disordered over two sites, with approximate occupancies of 0.84 and 0.16. In addition, a methanol solvent mol-ecule is disordered over two sites with equal occupancies. In the crystal structure, the full-occupancy methanol is linked to a dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule by an inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond.
