title: Poly[(μ(4)-biphenyl-2,4'-dicarboxyl-ato-κ(5)O(2):O(2'):O(4):O(4),O(4'))zinc].
abstract: The crystal structure of the polymeric title complex, [Zn(C(14)H(8)O(4))](n), is composed of layers parallel to (110) formed by linking of Zn-carboxyl-ate chains with biphenyl units of the biphenyl-2,4'-dicarboxyl-ate (bpdc) ligands. The Zn(II) atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by five O atoms from four bpdc ligands. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 52.32 (12)°.
