The zinc(II) coordination polymer Zn2(L)2(bix)2·2H2O (1) [H2L = 4,4′‐methylenebis(oxy)dibenzoic acid, bix = 1,4‐bis(imidazole‐1‐yl‐methylene)‐benzene] was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction. The title compound was characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The crystal structure determination reveals that compound 1 displays a twofold interpenetrated 3D framework, in which the Zn atoms are connected by the H2L ligands into interesting right and left‐handed helical chains.
