In the anion, the carboxylate group is twisted away from the attached benzene ring by 44.16 (11)°. The chlorobenzoate anion bridges Zn II cations, forming polymeric chains running along the c-axis direction. O - H...O hydrogen bonds between coordinating water molecules and carboxylate groups link adjacent chains into layers parallel to the bc plane.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle697m381m38210.1107/S160053681301564XN/A
