It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P21 with a = 5.03220(1), b = 13.3747(4), c = 12.9944(4) , β = 92.987(2)o, V = 873.39(4) 3, Z = 2, C12H20N4O12Zn2, Mr = 543.10, Dc = 2.065 g/cm3, F(000) = 552, μ(Mo Ka) = 2.826 mm-1, R = 0.0422 and w R = 0.1142. In NCGZn, Zn(1) and the symmetry formed Zn(1) ions are connected by five atoms from four NCG-2H anions and a water molecule. A NCG ligand has two carboxylate groups, one connecting a Zn ion, and the other bridgiong two Zn ions. The NCG ligand bridges four Zn ions through the amino group and two carboxylate groups with a water molecule to yield a 3D coordination polymer structure with hydrogen bonds.
