A new heterometallic coordination polymer, namely, [NaZn(Hnic) 3 ] (1), has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition (H 2 nic = 2-hydroxynicotinic acid). The Hnic ligands bridge Zn(II) and Na(I) atoms to furnish a fascinating 3D framework. The 3D framework is further consolidated by N-H···O hydrogen bonds. In addition, the luminescent property of compound 1 has been studied in solid state at room temperature.
