Abstract: In the title coordination polymer, {[Li(C₂H₅NO₂)₂(H₂O)]Br}_n, the Li⁺ cation is coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms of zwitterionic glycine molecules and by a water molecule, forming a distorted tetrahedral geometry. One of the two glycine molecules bridges neighbouring complexes, forming an infinite chain parallel to the c axis. Polymeric chains are further linked by extensive hydrogen bonds involving the Br^- anions and glycine and water molecules, producing a three-dimensional network.
