Abstract: | The title compound, ZnI2(bipy)]n (bipy is 4,4′‐bipyridine, C10H8N2), has been prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of ZnI2 and bipy at 433 K. Each Zn atom is coordinated by two N atoms from two different bipy ligands and by two I atoms in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with Zn—N distances ranging from 2.068 (7) to 2.101 (8) Å and Zn—I distances ranging from 2.5471 (13) to 2.5673 (13) Å. The molecular structure features a zigzag polymeric chain. Face‐to‐face π–π stacking interactions between adjacent bipy ligands stabilize the structure. |
