L.-H. Huo, S. Gao and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The title compound, [Zn₂(C₉H₆O₅)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], contains pairs of pyridine-coordinated Zn²⁺ ions [ZnZn = 2.987 (1) Å] which are bridged by two carboxylate fragments and two -O-CH₂-CO₂ fragments of four 4-carboxylatophenoxyacetate dianions to give rise to ZnO₄N square-based pyramids. The extended connectivity results in a layered structure.
