Abstract: Each Cu^II atom in the title coordination polymer, {[Cu(1,4-BDOA)(phen)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n [where 1,4-BDOA^2- is the benzene-1,4-dioxyacetate dianion (C₁₀H₈O₆^2-) and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline (C₁₂H₈N₂)], shows a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, defined by three carboxyl O-atom donors from the benzene-1,4-dioxyacetate ligand, two N-atom donors from the phen ligand and one water molecule. The Cu^II ions are bridged by carboxylate groups, forming a one-dimensional chain structure. The CuCu separation within the polymer is 11.325 (2) Å. Furthermore, the chains are linked into a three-dimensional supramolecular network via hydrogen bonds and - stacking interactions.
