Abstract
In the title compound, {[Zn3(C9H3O6)2(H2O)8]·4H2O}n, there are two crystallographically independent ZnII ions. One presents a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry defined by five O atoms [three from two carboxylate groups of two benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (BTC) ligands and the other two deriving from three water molecules], while the other lies on an inversion centre and exists in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry defined by six O atoms (two from two carboxylate groups of two BTC ligands and the others from four water molecules). A three-dimensional framework is further strengthened via O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactons.
