Abstract: | In the title complex, Zn(C12H6O4)(H2O)]n, a ZnII polymer based on naphthalene‐1,8‐dicarboxylate (1,8‐nap), the ZnII atoms adopt an elongated octahedral coordination geometry. A zigzag chain is formed by μ2‐aqua ligands and μ2‐carboxylate groups of the 1,8‐nap ligands. Adjacent parallel chains are further linked by 1,8‐nap ligands, forming a twisted two‐dimensional layer structure along the (100) plane. |
