Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₃NO₆)(C₃H₄N₂)₂]_n, each Zn^II atom is four-coordinated and bridged by a 5-nitrobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate ligand to form a one-dimensional herring-bone chain. Interchain hydrogen bonds connect the chains to produce a two-dimensional double-sheet layer. In the crystal structure, all double-sheet layers are stabilized via interlayer - interactions between adjacent benzene rings.
