Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₃₀H₂₆N₄O)₂](C₆H₂N₃O₇)₂·2C₃H₇NO, the Zn^II ion is coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment involving four equatorial N atoms and two O atoms in axial sites. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system and the phenyl rings in each of the benzylbenzimidazole units are 78.56 (12), 81.68 (11), 75.76 (10) and 85.78 (9)°. In the crystal structure, there are weak but significant intermolecular - stacking interactions with centroid-centroid distances of 3.685 (1) and 3.978 (1) Å.
