title: Poly[(mu2-1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane-kappa2N:N')(mu3-glutarato-kappa3O:O':O'')dizinc(II)].
abstract: The title compound, [Zn2(C5H6O4)2(C13H14N2)]n or [Zn2(glu)2(bpp)]n, is a novel zinc polymer based on mixed flexible glutarate (glu) and 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane (bpp) ligands. The Zn(II) center has a distorted tetrahedral geometry and the central atom of the bpp ligand is located at a special site with a C2 axis passing through it. A layer is formed by Zn-glu bonding. Such layers are pillared by bpp ligands, forming a three-dimensional framework with large channels. The inverted interpenetration of two three-dimensional frameworks completes the molecular structure.
