title: catena-Poly[[[(2-phenyl-acetato-κO)zinc(II)]bis-[μ-4,4'-(disulfanedi-yl)dipyridine-κN:N']] monohydrate].
abstract: In the title compound, {[Zn(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2)S(2))(2)]·H(2)O}(n), the Zn(II) atom is coordinated by four N atoms from four 4,4'-(disulfanedi-yl)dipyridine (bpds) ligands and two O atoms from two 2-phenyl-acetate anions in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The two bpds ligands of the same axial chirality bridge Zn(II) atoms, generating repeated rhomboidal chains, which are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a ladder structure.
