title: Poly[(μ(5)-2,6-dimethyl-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxyl-ato)zinc].
abstract: In the polymeric title complex, [Zn(C(9)H(7)NO(4))](n), the Zn(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by five 2,6-dimethyl-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate (mpdc) anions in a distorted ZnNO(4) trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The mpdc anion is also located on the twofold rotation axis and bridges five Zn(II) cations, forming the three-dimensional polymeric complex. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are present in the crystal structure.
