title: A new polymeric phase of zinc(II) oxydiacetate.
abstract: A new polymeric phase of zinc(II) oxydiacetate, catena-poly[[[diaquazinc(II)]-mu-oxydiacetato] hydrate], [[Zn(C(4)H(4)O(5))(H(2)O)(2)].H(2)O](n), isomorphous with the Co homologue [Hatfield, Helms, Rohrs, Singh, Wasson & Weller (1987). Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. Chem. Sci. 98, 23-31], is reported. It presents a chain-like structure, generated by ZnO(6) cores which are bridged by carboxylate groups in an anti-anti conformation along the unique crystallographic b axis. The chains are held together through hydrogen-bonding interactions with the three water molecules.
