✦ Synopsis
The title compound, [Zn(C 8 H 4 O 4 )(C 5 H 6 N 2 ) 2 ] n , in the solid state comprises polymeric zigzag chains extending along the c axis. Each Zn II ion is coordinated by two N [Zn-N = 1.991 (6) and 2.031 (5) A ˚] and two O [Zn-O = 1.912 (5) and 1.965 (5) A ˚] atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Weak C-HÁ Á ÁO interactions contribute to the crystal packing stability.
Related literature
In the corresponding compound [Zn(phthalato)(1-H-imidazole) 2 ] the Zn II ions also have a distorted tetrahedral environment (Liu et al., 2002).
