A very rare CO2-coordinated metal–organic framework was structurally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The CO2 ligand links two open Zn metal centers in an absolutely linear μ(O,O′) coordination mode with a CO distance of 1.107(4) Å. The new complex reported here is stable under ambient conditions and may provide a new strategy for CO2 fixation.
