title: Crystal structure of the one-dimensional metal-organic polymer catena-poly[[tris(μ-2,4,6-tri-methyl-benzoato-κ(2) O:O')dizinc]-μ-2,4,6-tri-methyl-benzoato-κ(2) O:O'].
abstract: The title complex, [Zn2(C10H11O2)4] n , has a one-dimensional polymeric structure. The asymmetric unit consists of two zinc atoms bridged by three 2,4,6-tri-methyl-benzoate anions and one bidentate bridging 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate anion. The [Zn2(C9H11CO2)3] cluster units are inter-molecularly linked to form a one-dimensional polymer, which propagates in the direction of the crystallographic b axis. The Zn atoms adopt a tetra-hedral geometry. The Zn-O bond lengths in the intra-molecular bridges are slightly shorter than those in the inter-molecular bridges.
