Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(1,3-BDC)(L)]_n, where 1,3-BDC is the 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate dianion (C₈H₄O₄^2-) and L is 2-phenyl-1H-1,3,7,8,-tetraazacyclopenta[l]phenanthrene (C₁₉H₁₂N₄), each Zn^II atom is five-coordinated by two N atoms from one L ligand, and three O atoms from three 1,3-BDC anions, in a distorted square-based pyramidal geometry. The Zn^II atoms are bridged by the 1,3-BDC ligands to form a double-chain structure. N-HO hydrogen bonds complete the structure.
