Abstract

In the title coordination polymer, [Zn(C8H4O4)(C5H5N)2]n, the ZnII atom, located on a twofold rotation axis, is tetracoordinated by two monodentate O atoms from two different carboxylate groups and two pyridyl N atoms, forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The ZnII atoms are bridged by terephthalate ligands, generating an infinite zigzag chain along [101].
