ABSTRACT

In the title complex, [Zn(C2O4)(C2H6O2)](n), the Zn(II) ion is in a distorted octa-hedral environment formed by two O atoms from an ethyl-ene glycol mol-ecule and four O atoms from two oxalate anions. The oxalate anions link the Zn(II) ions, forming a zigzag chain along [010]. The zigzag chains are extended into a three-dimensional network by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
