A novel one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer of {[Cu(4-CPOA)(3- PyOH)2(H2O)2]·H2O}n (4-CPOA2- = 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate dianion, 3-PyOH = 3-hydroxypyri- dine) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex C19H22N2O10Cu crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P-1with a = 7.672(2), b = 18.490(4), c = 13.271(3) (A), α = 72.81(3), β ＝ 84.64(3), γ = 87.28(3)°, V = 1026.3(4) (A)3, Z = 2, Mr = 501.94, Dc = 1.624 g/cm3, μ = 1.126 mm-1, F(000) = 518, the final R = 0.0580 and wR = 0.1310 for 3364 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Each Cu(II) ion is coordinated with two different carboxyl O atoms from two 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate groups, two N atoms from two 3-PyOH ligands and two water molecules, residing in a distorted octahedral environment. Adjacent Cu(II) atoms are linked by bi-monodentate 4-CPOA2- groups into an one-dimensional chain along the b axis. A three-dimensional supramolecular network is constructed by O-H…O hydrogen bonds.
