(Benzoato-O){tris[(2-benzimidazolyl-N³)methyl]amine-N}zinc(II) Tetrafluoroborate Methanol Solvate

In [LZn(C₆H₅CO₂)]BF₄.CH₃OH [L is tris(benzimidazolylmethyl)amine, C₂₄H₂₁N₇], the ligand L is tetradentate (N₄ donor set); the benzoate acts as a monodentate co-ligand and the methanol is not coordinated to the metal. The geometry at the zinc(II) center is very close to trigonal bipyramidal.
