Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(1,4-BDC)(L)]_n, where 1,4-BDC is the benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate dianion, C₇H₃O₄N^2-, and L is dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]-phenazine, C₁₈H₁₀N₄, each Zn^II atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms (from one dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine ligand) and three O atoms (from two monodentate benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands and one water molecule). The Zn^II atoms are bridged by benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands, forming a one-dimensional chain structure. Neighboring one-dimensional chains interact through - contacts, leading to a two-dimensional supramolecular structure, and O-HO hydrogen bonds complete the structure.
