Abstract

In the two-dimensional title coordination polymer, [Zn(C8H4O4)(C14H14N4)]n, the ZnII atom adopts a distorted tetra­hedral geometry, being ligated by two O atoms from two different benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl­ate dianions and two N atoms from two symmetry-related 1,2-bis­(imidazol-1-ylmeth­yl)benzene mol­ecules. The dihedral angles between the imidazole rings and the benzene ring in the neutral ligand are 76.31 (13) and 85.33 (15)°. The ZnII atoms are bridged by dicarboxyl­ate ligands, forming chains parallel to the a axis, which are further linked by 1,2-bis­(imidazol-1-ylmeth­yl)benzene mol­ecules, generating a two-dimensional layer structure parallel to the ac plane. The crystal structure is enforced by intra­layer and inter­layer C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
