The ZnII center in the dicationic complex of the title com­pound, [Zn(C10H7N3S)3](NO3)2·0.5C2H5OH·H2O, is in a dis­torted octa­hedral environment with imperfect noncrystallographic C3 symmetry. Each 2-(1,3-thia­zol-2-yl)-1H-benz­imidazole ligand coordinates in a bidentate manner, with the Zn—N(imidazole) bond lengths approximately 0.14 Å shorter than the Zn—N(thia­zole) bond lengths. Charge-assisted hydrogen bonds connect cations, anions and water mol­ecules. A lattice void is occupied by an ethanol solvent mol­ecule disordered about a crystallographic inversion center and π-stacking is observed between one type of symmetry-related benzene rings.
