Poly[[[(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II)]-μ-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl­ato] monohydrate].

In the title compound, {[Zn(C8H4O4)(C24H16N2)]·H2O} n, the Zn center is coordinated by three O atoms from three different benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl­ate dianions and two N atoms from the bidentate 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand to display a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal geometry. The benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl­ate ligand acts as a μ3-bridge, resulting in a two-dimensional coordination polymer with rhombus-shaped channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
