catena-Poly[[[aqua-(1,10-phenanthroline-κ²N,N')zinc]-μ-acetyl-ene-dicarboxyl-ato-κ²O¹:O²] monohydrate].
In the title complex, {[Zn(C₄O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O}(n), the penta-coordinated Zn(II) ion is bound to two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, two O atoms from two bridging acetyl-enedicarboxyl-ate anions and a water O atom in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The crystal structure is characterized by polymeric zigzag chains running parallel to [2-10] and is stabilized by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
