Abstract: The title compound, {[Zn(C₈H₄O₅)(C₁₀H₈N₂)]·H₂O}_n, was synthesized by reacting Zn(NO₃)₂, 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid and 2,2'-bipyridine under hydrothermal conditions. Self-assembly between the bridging ligands, chelating ligands and metal ions results in a one-dimensional coordination polymer, in which the Zn^II atom is six-coordinate and shows a [ZnN₂O₄] octahedral geometry. The ribbons are interconnected by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule, the hydroxyl group and the carboxylate O atoms, forming a two-dimensional layer. These layers are connected through - interactions between the pyridyl rings [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.57 (1) Å].
