title: catena-Poly[aqua-bis-(μ-3-chloro-benzo-ato-κ(2) O:O')zinc].
abstract: In the polymeric title compound, [Zn(C7H4ClO2)2(H2O)] n , the Zn(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by carboxylate O atoms of four monodentate chloro-benzoate anions and by one water mol-ecule, located on a twofold rotation axis, in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In the anion, the carboxyl-ate group is twisted away from the attached benzene ring by 44.16 (11)°. The chloro-benzoate anion bridges Zn(II) cations, forming polymeric chains running along the c-axis direction. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between coordinating water mol-ecules and carboxyl-ate groups link adjacent chains into layers parallel to the bc plane.
