title: Bis{μ-1,3-bis-[(benzimidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]benzene-κN:N}bis-[dichloridozinc(II)] dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(2)Cl(4)(C(22)H(18)N(4))(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the 1,3-bis-[(benzimidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]benzene ligand bridges two ZnCl(2) units, forming a centrosymmetric dinuclear mol-ecule. The Zn(II) atom shows a distorted tetra-hedral coordination within a Cl(2)N(2) donor set.
