Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₅H₃N₆)₂]_n, has a neutral two-dimensional square grid-like network structure, in which the central Zn^II atom is located on an inversion centre and coordinated by six N atoms from four 5-(pyrimidin-2-yl)tetrazolate ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry [Zn-N = 2.114 (3)-2.193 (3) Å and N-Zn-N = 77.78 (9)-102.22 (9)°]. The tetrazolate ligand adopts an N,N':N''-tridentate chelating-bridging coordination mode. This complex is isostructural with the iron(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) analogues.
