metal-organic compounds
In the title compound, [Zn(C8H5O4)2(C10H8N2)], the ZnII ion is located on a crystallographic twofold axis, which passes through the mid-point of the C-C bond of the bpy ligand. The Zn atom is four-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from two symmetry-related hydrogen isophthalate ligands [Zn-O = 1.972 (5) Å] and two N atoms from 2,2'-bipyridine ligand [Zn-N = 2.067 (5) Å] to furnish a distorted tetrahedral geometry.
