Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₁₄H₁₁O₂)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the Zn^II ion lies on a crystallographic inversion center and is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination enviroment. 4,4'-Bipyridine ligands act as bridging ligands, connecting Zn^II ions into a chain along the b-axis direction. In the crystal structure, these chains are linked by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab plane.
