Abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Zn(C₉H₆O₅)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, the Zn^II ion displays a distorted octahedral coordination configuration, defined by two N atoms from the 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, three carboxylate O atoms from two 4-carboxylatophenoxyacetate dianions and one water molecule. Adjacent Zn^II atoms are linked by carboxylate groups into zigzag chains with a ZnZn separation of 9.710 (3) Å across the chains. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds serve to assemble the chains into a double-chain structure.
