title: catena-Poly[zinc(II)-bis-[μ(2)-3-(3-pyrid-yl)-benzoato]-κO:N;κN:O].
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C(12)H(8)NO(2))(2)](n), the Zn(2+) cation is coordinated by a pair of carboxyl-ate O atoms as well as two pyridyl N atoms to afford a distorted tetra-hedral environment. Adjacent Zn(2+) cations, with a separation of 8.807 (2) Å, are linked by two 3-(3-pyrid-yl)benzoate ligand bridges, generating an infinite ribbon extending parallel to [001].
