Abstract: The title compound, [Zn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₅H₆N₂)₂]_n, in the solid state comprises polymeric zigzag chains extending along the c axis. Each Zn^II ion is coordinated by two N [Zn-N = 1.991 (6) and 2.031 (5) Å] and two O [Zn-O = 1.912 (5) and 1.965 (5) Å] atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Weak C-HO interactions contribute to the crystal packing stability.
