The novel title coordination polymer, {[Cu(C8H4O 4)(C10H9N3)]·H 2O}n, synthesized by the slow-diffusion method, takes the form of one-dimensional zigzag chains built up of CuII cations linked by benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate (ipht) anions. An exceptional characteristic of this structure is that it belongs to a small group of metal-organic polymers where ipht is coordinated as a bridging tridentate ligand with monodentate and chelate coordination of individual carboxyl-ate groups. The CuII cation has a highly distorted square-pyramidal geometry formed by three O atoms from two ipht anions and two N atoms from a di-2-pyridyl-amine (dipya) ligand. The zigzag chains, which run along the b axis, further construct a three-dimensional metal-organic framework via strong face-to-face π-π inter-actions and hydrogen bonds. A solvent water mol-ecule is linked to the different carboxyl-ate groups via hydrogen bonds. Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analyses confirm the strong hydrogen bonding. © 2011 International Union of Crystallography.
