title: Dichloridobis{1-[(2-methyl-benzimidazol-1-yl-κN(3))meth-yl]benzotriazole}zinc.
abstract: The title mononuclear Zn(II) complex, [ZnCl(2)(C(15)H(13)N(5))(2)], is isotypic with the previously reported Hg(II) complex. The Zn(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted tetra-hedral environment of two Cl atoms and two N atoms from two heterocyclic ligands. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules are extended by inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.792 (2) Å] into a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
