Abstract: The Zn^II ion in the title compound, [Zn₂(HPO₄)₂(C₆H₆N₄)], exhibits a tetrahedral geometry. It is coordinated by three O atoms from three hydrogenphosphate ions of three different structure units and one N atom of a centrosymmetric bridging 2,2'-biimidazole molecule. In this way, a three-dimensional polymer is built. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-HO, N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds.
