Abstract: The pyromellitate tetraanion in the title polymeric complex, [Zn₂(C₁₀H₂O₈)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, uses only one O atom from each carboxylate group to bind to one Zn atom, which is also chelated by the heterocycle; the fifth coordination site of the trigonal bipyramid around the Zn atom is occupied by a water molecule. The ribbons are linked by hydrogen bonds into sheets. The pyromellitate tetranion lies on an inversion center.
