title: Poly[[μ(2)-1,3-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene][μ(2)-2,2'-dihy-droxy-1,1'-methyl-enebis(naphthalene-3-carboxyl-ato)]zinc].
abstract: In the title compound, [Zn(C(23)H(14)O(6))(C(14)H(14)N(4))](n), the Zn(II) ion is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The 1,3-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene and 2,2'-dihy-droxy-1,1'-methyl-enebis(naphthalene-3-carboxy-l-ate) ligands con-nect the Zn(II) ions alternately in different directions, forming a layered structure parallel to the ac plane. Topological analysis reveals that the whole structure is a (4,4) network. The layers are further assembled into a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure via C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
