title: Poly[[bis-(dimethyl-formamide)[μ(7)-5,5'-(methyl-enedi-oxy)diisophthalato]dizinc] dimethyl-formamide monosolvate].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title coordination polymer, {[Zn(2)(C(17)H(8)O(10))(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO}(n), the mol-ecular build-ing block (MBB), viz. {Zn(2)(CO(2))(4)(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)}, comprises two zinc atoms, each bridged by three carboxyl-ate groups. These two Zn atoms exhibit different coordination environments: a distorted coordination intermediate between trigonal-pyramidal, and square-pyramidal formed by the two coordinated dimethyl-formamide mol-ecules and three carboxylate groups, and a distorted tetra-hedral coordination defined by carboxy-late groups of which three are bidentate bridging and the fourth is a monodentate ligand. Thus, each ligand connects four MBBs, forming the three-dimensional polymer.
