3-tyrosinato], [Zn(C9H7NO3)(H2O)]n, each Zn atom has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry comprised of three O atoms and one N atom from three tyrosinate (tyr) ligands, and one aqua ligand. Two inversion-related Zn2+ ions are bridged by two O atoms from the phenolate groups of two tyr ligands to form a centrosymmetric dimeric unit, which can be described as a planar Zn2O2 four-membered ring. These repeating dimeric units are arranged along the c axis to give a one-dimensional chain coordination polymer, in which the tyr ligand adopts an unusual chelating/bridging coordination mode.
