catena-Poly[[[bis-(4-bromo-benzoato-κO)zinc]-μ-1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethene-κN:N'] acetonitrile monosolvate].
In the title coordination compound, {[Zn(C(7)H(4)BrO(2))(2)(C(12)H(10)N(2))]·CH(3)CN}(n), the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral environment by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two different 4-bromo-benzoate (bpe) ligands and two N atoms from two symmetry-related 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethene ligands. The Zn(II) atoms are bridged by the bpe ligands, which lie across centres of inversion, forming a zigzag chain along [001]. The void space of each unit cell is occupied by an acetonitrile solvent mol-ecule, which is connected to the complex mol-ecule by a weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bond.
