Abstract The hydrothermal synthesis of the novel complex poly[aqua(μ4‐benzene‐1, 2, 3‐tricarboxylato)[μ2‐4, 4′‐(hydrazine‐1, 2‐diylidenedimethanylylidene)dipyridine](μ3‐hydroxido)dizinc(II)], [Zn(C9H3O6)(OH)(C12H10N4)(H2O)]n, is described. The benzene‐1, 2, 3‐tricarboxylate ligand connects neighbouring Zn4(OH)2 secondary building units (SBUs) producing an infinite one‐dimensional chain. Adjacent one‐dimensional chains are connected by the N, N′‐bis[(pyridin‐4‐yl)methylidene]hydrazine ligand, forming a two‐dimensional layered structure. Adjacent layers are stacked to generate a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture via O—H...O hydrogen‐bond interactions. The thermal stability of this complex is described and the complex also appears to have potential for application as a luminescent material.
