Abstract

In the title compound, [Zn(C(8)H(5)N(4)O(2))(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) ion lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two O atoms from two 4-(tetra-zol-1-yl)benzoate ligands, two O atoms from two methanol mol-ecules and two O atoms from two water mol-ecules in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. In addition, there are two uncoordinated water mol-ecules in the crystal structure. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
