Abstract

In the title compound, {(C6H16N)[Zn(C6H4N3)3]}n, the ZnII atom has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry defined by four N atoms from four benzotriazolate (BTA) ligands. The compound is composed of extended polymeric chains in which two BTA N atoms bridge [Zn(BTA)2] fragments along [001]. Cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen-bond inter­actions along [010].
