In the title compound, [Zn(C21H17N5)2](C6H2N3O7)2·2CH3OH, the ZnII atom is coordinated by six N atoms from two tridentate 2,6-bis­(1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine ligands in a distorted octa­hedral environment. In the crystal, the picrate anions and methanol solvent mol­ecules are connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Weak inter­molecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds are also observed.

In the cation of the title salt, C24H24N73+·3C6H2N3O7·2C2H3N, the three benzimidazolium ring systems are oriented to each other at dihedral angles of 10.42 (7), 23.98 (7) and 22.17 (7)°. In the crystal, the cation links to the adjacent picrate anions via N—H...O hydrogen bonds; one of independent acetonitrile solvent mol­ecules is also linked to the cation via an N—H...N hydrogen bond.
