Abstract: The title compound, {[Zn(SO₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]·C₂H₆O₂}_n, has a linear polymeric structure through the 4.4'-bipyridyl ligand acting as a bridge connecting the Zn atoms. The Zn atom in each unit is coordinated by two bipridyl ligands, one sulfate anion and three water molecules in a distorted octahedral environment. The bipy ligands occupy special positions of site symmetry . In the crystal structure, the linear chains are arranged in two different directions, resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular array supported by O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds involving the O atoms of the ligands and ethane-1,2-diol solvent molecules.
