A mixture of Zn(NO3)2 (0.1 mmol), 1-((1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole (0.1 mmol), 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (0.1 mmol) and water (10 ml) was placed in a 25 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel and heated at 120 °C for 72 h, then cooled to room temperature. Colourless crystals were obtained from the filtrate and dried in air.
H atoms bound to C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C-H = 0.93 (aromatic) Å and 0.97 (CH2) Å. H atoms bound to N and O atoms were found from difference maps and refined with distance restraints of N-H = 0.86 Å and O-H = 0.82 (OH) Å and O-H = 0.85 (H2O) Å. All H atoms were refined with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C,N,O).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

It is well known that the ZnII ion is able to coordinate simultaneously to both oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing ligands and the final products can exhibit attractive structures and useful functional properties. A great number of ZnII complexes containing both aromatic carboxylates and N-heterocyclic ligands have been reported (Lin et al., 2008; Tian et al., 2010). In order to further explore such compounds with new structures, we selected 1-((1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid as ligands to self-assemble with Zn(NO3)2 and obtained the title complex, {[Zn(C9H5O6)2(C11H10N4)2] (H2O)8}, the crystal structure of which is reported herein. As shown in Figure 1, two 1-((1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-imidazole ligands and two monodeprotonated 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid anions coordinate to the ZnII ion which is located on a twofold rotation axis. The Zn—O bond length is slightly shorter than the Zn—N bond length. The environment around the ZnII ion can be best described as distorted tetrahedral. O—H···O, O—H···N, and N—H···O hydrogen bonds between solvent water/water molecules, between solvent water molecules and carboxylate O atoms, between carboxyl groups and solvent water molecules, between carboxyl groups and benzimidazole N atoms, between benzimidazole units and solvent water molecules of adjacent molecules consolidate the crystal packing (Figure 2).
