title: Salicylato[tris-(N-methyl-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth-yl)amine]zinc(II) perchlorate dimethyl-formamide sesquisolvate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Zn(C(7)H(5)O(3))(C(27)H(27)N(7))]ClO(4)·1.5C(3)H(7)NO, the Zn(II) atom is five-coordinated by four N atoms from a tris-(N-methyl-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth-yl)amine ligand and one O atom from a salicylate ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry (τ parameter = 0.84), with approximate mol-ecular C(3) symmetry. One dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule lies on a general position and is disordered over two coplanar orientations with equal occupancy. A second dimethyl-formamide mol-ecule is disordered about a twofold rotation axis.
