Abstract
In the title mononuclear complex, [Zn(C21H16N3O)Cl], the ZnII ion is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two benzimidazole N atoms and one phenolate O atom from the tridentate Schiff base ligand and a chloride ligand. The benzimidazole ring system forms dihedral angles of 26.68 (9) and 56.16 (9)° with the adjacent benzene ring and the methylphenolate group benzene ring, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into chains along [100]. Furthermore, weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, in addition to π–π interactions with centroid–centroid distances in the range 3.5826 (13)–3.9681 (13) Å, are also observed.
