The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Zn(C7H7O2)2(C10H8N2)]·4H2O}n, contains a highly distorted octahedral ZnII metal center strongly coordinated by two N atoms of two 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) ligands and chelated by two 4-methylbenzoate anions. The crystallographic inversion center and glide plane present at the center of the C—C single bond of 4,4′-bipy, along with the cis coordination motif of the 4,4′-bipy, lead to one-dimensional zigzag chains. There are a large number of water molecules in the crystal structure, which also form one-dimensional chains through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
