Abstract: A two-dimensional zinc(II) coordination polymer, {[Zn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₂H₈N₂)]·3H₂O}_n, has been constructed from zinc(II), 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid and ethylenediamine. Within the polymer, each Zn atom is coordinated by two monodentate 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate ligands and two ethylenediamine ligands which define a distorted tetrahedral geometry. The two-dimensional network is further held together by - stacking interactions and hydrogen-bonding interactions, giving two types of extended one-dimensional channels along the a axis with dimensions of 10.207  (1) × 7.286  (1)  Å and 10.207  (1) × 6.240  (1)  Å.
