Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₇H₆N₂)₂(C₄H₄O₅)], one oxydiacetate dianion and two benzimidazole molecules coordinate to the Zn^II atom in distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry. The interplanar distance of 3.422 (4) Å between parallel benzimidazole rings of neighbouring molecules indicates the existence of - stacking.
