Abstract

The title compound, [Zn(C(14)H(12)O(6))(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), is a coordination polymer forming one-dimensional infinite zigzag chains along [10[Formula: see text]] by inter-connection of Zn(II) atoms by 2,5-bis-(all-yl-oxy)-terephthalate anions via the carboxyl-ate groups. The Zn(II) atom is located on a twofold axis and is in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination formed by the two carboxyl-ate O atoms [Zn-O = 1.9647 (12) Å] and two phenanthroline N atoms [Zn-N = 2.0949 (14) Å].
