In the title compound, [Cu(C13H9NO3)(H2O)](n), the Cu-II ion is in a slight
ly distorted square-pyramidal environment, with four short bonds in the bas
al plane formed by three donor atoms of the Schiff base and a water O atom.
A symmetry-related neighbouring molecule provides an apical carboxylate O
atom at a distance of 2.551 (3) Angstrom; this contact leads to the formati
on of zigzag polymeric chains. In addition, the chain fragments are connect
ed to each other by hydrogen bonding.
