Abstract: In the title complex, [Zn(C₅H₉N₄)₂]_n, the Zn^II center is coordinated by four N atoms of different tetrazolate ligands with a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry [Zn-N distances and N-Zn-N angles are in the ranges 1.991 (2)-2.007 (2) Å and 104.22 (8)-116.13 (8)°, respectively]. Each ligand links two Zn^II atoms through its 1- and 4-position tetrazole N atoms, forming a single, fully connected three-dimensional framework with a diamond-like topology. In the crystal structure, the ZnZn separations across each tetrazole unit are 6.115 (2) and 6.134 (2) Å and the ZnZnZn angles are in the range 107.77 (8)-116.83 (8)°.
