ABSTRACT: In the title polymeric ZnII compound, [Zn(C8H7O3)2(C12H12N2)] n , the Zn cation is coordinated by two N atoms from 1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane unit and four O atoms from two mandelate [or hy-droxy(phen-yl)acetate] anions in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The 1,2-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)ethane unit bridges two ZnII cations, related by an inversion centre, to form a polymeric chain along [110]. The crystal structure features extensive O-H⋯O and weak C-H ⋯O hydrogen bonds, with C-H ⋯ π inter-actions and π-π inter-actions also being present. The centroid-centroid distance between the phenyl ring of the mandelate group and the 1,2-bis-(pyridine-4-yl)ethane moi
