Cover illustration: The coordination polymer poly[([mu]4-phenyl­phospho­nato)zinc(II)], [Zn(C6H5O3P)], was obtained serendipitously by reacting zinc(II) acetate with a tetra­phospho­nate cavitand in DMF. The basic conditions of the reaction cleaved the phospho­nate bridges at the upper rim of the cavitand, making them available for reaction with the zinc ions. The coordination polymer can be described as an inorganic layer in which zinc coordinates the oxygen atoms of the phospho­nate groups in a distorted tetra­hedral environment, while the phenyl groups, which are statistically disordered over two orientations, point up and down with respect to the layer. The layers inter­act through van der Waals inter­actions. Data analysis, structure solution, refinement and validation were conducted as part of a tutorial session during the Crystallographic Information Fiesta held in Naples, Italy, from 29 August to 3 September 2019, and organized by the Italian Crystallographic Association in partnership with the IUCr.

The title coordination polymer was obtained reacting zinc(II) acetate with a tetra­phospho­nate cavitand in DMF. The basic conditions of the reaction medium hydrolysed the cavitand making the phospho­nate group available for coordination to the zinc(II) cation.

In the cation of the title mol­ecular salt, C15H19N2+·PF6, the dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings is 38.21 (10)°.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains two independent mol­ecules, A and B, with similar geometries. In the crystal, the A mol­ecules form [1\overline{1}0] chains linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the hydroxyl group to one of the meth­oxy O atoms. The B mol­ecules form O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to the hydroxyl O atoms of the A mol­ecules and thus act as fixed spacers between the chains of mol­ecule A.
