A three‐dimensional ZnII coordination framework: poly[[μ2‐(E)‐1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethene][μ4‐(E)‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato][μ2‐(E)‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato]dizinc(II)]

In the title coordination polymer, Zn₂(C₁₄H₈N₂O₄)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)]_n, the asymmetric unit contains one Zn^II cation, two halves of 2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoate anions (denoted L²⁻) and half of a 1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethene ligand (denoted bpe). The three ligands lie across crystallographic inversion centres. Each Zn^II centre is four‐coordinated by three O atoms of bridging carboxylate groups from three L²⁻ ligands and by one N atom from a bpe ligand, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. Two Zn^II atoms are bridged by two carboxylate groups of L²⁻ ligands, generating a Zn₂(CO₂)₂] ring. Each loop serves as a fourfold node, which links its four equivalent nodes via the sharing of four L²⁻ ligands to form a two‐dimensional Zn₂L₄]_n net. These nets are separated by bpe ligands acting as spacers, producing a three‐dimensional framework with a 4⁶6⁴ topology. Powder X‐ray diffraction and solid‐state photoluminescence were also measured.
