Abstract

The terephthalate dianion and the bis(imidazolyl)benzene ligand of the title compound, {[Zn(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(20)H(14)N(4))].C(2)H(6)O}(n), each bridges two adjacent zinc centers, resulting in a layer-type coordination polymer; the zinc center shows tetrahedral coordination. The disordered ethanol solvent molecules occupy the spaces between the layers and are hydrogen bonded to the layers. The two symmetry-independent dianions lie on different inversion sites.
