Abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C₁₄H₈O₅)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]_n, both the Zn^II ion and the oxydibenzoate ligand are located on a twofold rotation axis. The Zn^II centre is coordinated by three N atoms from a chelating 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand and two O atoms from two 2,2'-oxydibenzoate ligands, forming a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. Further coordination via the 2,2'-oxydibenzoate anions forms a one-dimensional coordination polymer extending parallel to [010]. Aromatic - stacking interactions are observed between adjacent terpyridine ligands with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.568 (2) Å.
