title: A new two-dimensional supramolecule composed of mu-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylato-kappa4O3,O3':O5,O5'-bis[chloro(1,10-phenanthroline-kappa2N,N')zinc(II)].
abstract: In the binuclear title molecule, [Zn(2)(C(9)H(7)NO(4))Cl(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the two metal centres are bridged by a 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate ligand. The binuclear unit is extended to form a two-dimensional supramolecular motif via pi-pi stacking interactions between neighbouring phenanthroline rings.
