Abstract: In the solid state, the title compound, [Zn(C₈H₄O₄)(C₄H₆N₂)₂]_n, exhibits the existence of polymeric zigzag chains extending along the a axis. Each Zn^II ion is coordinated by two N atoms [Zn-N = 1.996 (6) and 2.032 (5) Å] and two O atoms [Zn-O = 1.930 (4) and 1.976 (4) Å] in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Weak C-HO interactions contribute to the crystal packing stability.
