Abstract: The tetradentate Schiff base carboxylate-containing ligand bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino-6-caproic acid (Hpmca) reacts with zinc(II) perchlorate to give the title one-dimensional zinc(II) complex, {[Zn(C₁₈H₂₂N₃O₂)(H₂O)](ClO₄)}_n or {[Zn(-pmca)(H₂O)](ClO₄)}_n. Each Zn^II ion has a distorted octahedral geometry, being coordinated by three N atoms of the ligand, two O atoms belonging to another ligand, and one water molecule.
