Poly[bis-(dimethyl-ammonium) [bis-(dimethyl-amine-κN)tris-(μ(2)-terephthalato-κO:O)dizinc(II)] N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate hexa-hydrate].

The title compound, {(C(2)H(8)N)(2)[Zn(2)(C(8)H(4)O(4))(3)(C(2)H(7)N)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO·6H(2)O}(n), consists of two-dimensional non-inter-penetrated sheets with 6(3) topology, which are stacked together in an …ABAB… packing mode along the c axis. The distance between adjacent A and B sheets is ca 7.3†à . In the structure, the Zn(II) center is coordinated by three O atoms from three terephthalate groups and one N atom from one dimethyl-amine ligand, adopting a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. All solvent water mol-ecules are disordered. In the structure, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.
