title: Poly[(μ(3)-hydrogenphosphato)(4H-1,2,4-triazole-κN(1))zinc].
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(HPO(4))(C(2)H(3)N(3))](n), contains one Zn(2+) cation, one (HPO(4))(2-) anion and a 1,2,4 triazole ligand. The Zn(2+) cation is coordinated in a quite regular tetra-hedral geometry by O atoms from three phosphate groups and a tertiary N atom from the triazole ring. Each phosphate anion is connected to three Zn(II) cations, leading to a series of corrugated organic-inorganic layers parallel to the ac plane. The overall structure involves stacking of complex hybrid organic-inorganic layers along the b axis. Cohesion in the crystal is ensured by an infinite three-dimensional network of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the phosphate groups and the triazole ligands.
