Abstract
The title complex, Cu-2(C10H2O8)(C3H4N2)(6)(H2O)(4) . 4H(2)O, consists of p olymeric copper(II) complex anions and discrete copper(II) complex cations. Benzenetetracarboxyl anions bridge copper(II) atoms coordinated to water a nd imidazole groups to form the anionic polymeric chains along the a axis, while discrete copper(II) complex cations involving four imidazole and two water ligands are packed between parallel polymeric anionic chains, an exte nsive H-bonding network linking complex cations and anions.
