Abstract:
In the title coordination polymer, [Zn(C(14)H(11)NO(3))(C(2)H(6)OS)](n), each Zn(II) ion is five-coordinated in a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment, formed by three O atoms from two 2-[(2-oxido-1-naphth-yl)-methyl-eneamino]propanoate ligands, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecule and the N atom from the amino-propanoate ligand. The propanoate ligands bridge Zn(II) ions, forming a zigzag chain parallel to [010].
