The title compound, [Zn(3)(C(6)H(5)O(7))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), is a polymer in which the repeating unit contains three zinc atoms, two hepta-dentate Hcit ligands (Hcit = citric acid trianion) and two coordinated water mol-ecules, only half of which are independent due to one of the metal atoms lying on a centre of symmetry. The two independent cations both exhibit an octa-hedral geometry, but the way in which they are coordinate are different; while the Zn atom in a general position is bound to thre ...[more]
