✦ Synopsis
The molecular structure of the title compound, [Zn(C~8~H~7~O~2~)~2~(C~7~H~6~N~2~)~2~]·2C~8~H~8~O~2~, is composed of a mononuclear Zn^II^ complex, which possesses twofold rotation symmetry, and two uncoordinated 4-methylbenzoic acid molecules. The Zn^II^ atom displays a four-coordinate distorted tetrahedral configuration, formed by two carboxylate O atoms of two monodentate 4-methylbenzoate ligands and two N atoms of two benzimidazole molecules. In the crystal structure, complex molecules are linked by the 4-methylbenzoic acid molecules via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, giving rise to the formation of a supramolecular structure.
