Abstract: One of the two independent Zn atoms of the polymeric title compound, [Zn₃(C₁₆H₁₀O₄)₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)]_n, lies on a special position of site symmetry 3 and the other on a special position of site symmetry $\\overline{3}$ . The carboxylate ends of the 4,4'-(ethene-1,2-diyl)dibenzoate dianion, which lies on a special position of site symmetry $\\overline{1}$ , each bridge these two independent Zn atoms. The bipyridine-coordinated Zn atom on the threefold axis has a tetrahedral geometry, whereas the other Zn atom is coordinated by the O atoms of six different dianions in an octahedral geometry.
