Two ZnII-based coordination polymers (CPs) were synthesized by the hydrothermal method, using Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) in dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, at 95 °C. Poly[tetrakis(dimethylazanium) [tetrakis(μ2-furan-2,5-dicarboxylato-κ2

(DMA = dimethylazanium and FDC = furan-2,5-dicarboxylate), (1), was obtained with a 1:1 molar ratio of ZnII and FDCA. It crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Coordinated by ZnII ions, FDC2− ligands form 21 double-stranded helices propagating along the b axis. The helices are interconnected and extend laterally in the a direction, forming a two-dimensional (2D) sheet-like network. The 2D sheets are stacked along the c direction without interconnections. DMA cations are cocrystallized in (1) and are hydrogen bonded with carboxylate O atoms of the FDC2− ligands. The hydrogen-bonding pattern consists of R
