title: Poly[(μ(3)-camphorato-κO:O':O'')(2-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN)zinc(II)].
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C(10)H(14)O(4))(C(4)H(6)N(2))](n), each Zn(II) ion is coordinated by one N atom from one 2-methyl-1H-imidazole ligand and three O atoms from two camphorate (cap) ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. In one of the cap ligands, one methyl group is disordered between positions 1 and 3 in a 0.518 (12):0.482 (12) ratio. Each cap ligand bridges three Zn(II) ions, forming two-dimensional layers, which inter-act further via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
