Abstract: In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, [Zn(C₁₄H₈O₅)(C₁₂H₈N₂)]_n, the Zn^II ion is in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with four O atoms from two carboxylate groups in bidentate chelating modes and two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The two terminal carboxylate groups bind the Zn^II ions, leading to a chain along the c axis. Adjacent chains are further linked by intermolecular - interactions with a shortest centroid-centroid distance of 3.586 (3) Å, forming a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture with (6,3)-network topology.
