title: Poly[aqua-bis-[μ(2)-2-(pyridin-4-ylsulfan-yl)acetato]-zinc].
abstract: The crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(C(7)H(6)NO(2)S)(2)(H(2)O)](n), consists of extended layers parallel to (001) with 2-(pyridin-4-ylsulfan-yl)acetate ligands bridging the Zn(II) atoms. The Zn(II) atom shows a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. The Zn(II) and one O atom are situated on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, intra-layer O-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions help to consolidate the coordination layer.
