The combination of a [zinc(II)-4,4′-bpy] coordination moiety with, respectively, formato, acetato and propionato ligands leads to the formation of the compounds {[Zn3(4,4′-bpy)3.5(-O 2CH)4 (H2O)2](ClO4) 2(H2O)2}n (1), {[Zn 3(4,4′-bpy)3(-O2CCH3) 4(H2O)2](PF6)2(H 2O)2}n (2) and {[Zn3(4,4′-bpy) 4(-O2CC...
