Abstract

The double-chain coordination polymer, {[Zn(H2O) 6][Zn(bbtc)H2O]·4H2O}n (bbtc = 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenonetetracarboxylate), features two kinds of zinc center. One is octahedrally coordinated by six aqua ligands and the other is coordinated by four carboxylate oxygen atoms, derived from three bbtc ligands, and a water molecule, forming a geometry intermediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal.
