Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn₄(C₄H₄O₄)₃(NO₃)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)₂], the tetranuclear Zn₄(gauche-succinato)₂ building blocks are bridged by succinate and trans-di-4-pyridylethylene ligands to form a distorted two-dimensional (4,4)-square grid. Packing of these square grids leads to a condensed metal-organic framework. One of the two independent Zn atoms shows tetrahedral whereas the other shows octahedral coordination. They are bridged by three succinate ligands, with a ZnZn distance of 3.1505 (12) Å.
