Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₅O₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)]_n, the Zn^II atom lies on a twofold rotation axis, and is coordinated by two N atoms of two 4,4'-bipyridine ligands and two carboxylate groups, each in a chelating mode, from two isophthalate ligands. The 4,4'-bipyridine ligand, located on an inversion center, bridges the Zn^II atoms, forming a one-dimensional zigzag chain structure. O-HO hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions [with a shortest atom-to-atom distance of 3.41 (1) Å] are observed between the chains.
