Poly[(μ(2)-azido-κN:N)[μ(2)-5-(8-quinolyl-oxy-methyl)tetra-zolato-κN,O,N:N]zinc(II)].

In the title compound, [Zn(C(11)H(8)N(5)O)(N(3))](n), the Zn atom is hexa-coordinated by five N atoms and one O atom in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The chelating 5-(8-quinolyloxymeth-yl)tetra-zolate ligands are approximately planar, with a dihedral angle of 3.6 (2)° between the quinoline and tetra-zole planes. Adjacent Zn atoms are linked by two bridging azide ligands across a centre of inversion, and further coordination by one N atom of an adjacent tetra-zole unit forms two-dimensional frameworks in (100). C-H⋯N inter-actions exist between ligands in neighbouring layers.
