A new 2-D chiral coordination polymer of [Zn(nicotinate)2]n

A new two-dimensional (2-D) acentric coordination polymer, [Zn(NA)2] 2, has been synthesized under hydrothermal reaction conditions. The structure of 2 is self-assembled from square-grid nets stacked via interdigitation and crystallizes in a chiral space group Fdd2. The zinc atoms are in distorted tetrahedral sites.
