title: catena-Poly[[bis-(1H-imidazole-κN)copper(II)]-μ-benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ato-κO:O].
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), the Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two different terephthalate ligands and two N atoms from two imidazole ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. Each terephthalate ligand acts as a bis-monodentate ligand that binds two Cu(II) atoms, thus forming two unique chains extending parallel to [110]. The imidazole ligands are attached on both sides of the chains.
