Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₇H₄O₅S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, a polymeric copper(II) complex, was obtained by the reaction of Cu(NO₃)₂ with potassium hydrogen 4-sulfobenzoate and 1,10-phenanthroline under hydrothermal condition. Each Cu^II atom displays a square-pyramidal geometry defined by three O atoms from one water molecule and two 4-sulfonatobenzoate ligands and two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. The polymeric chains are linked into ladders by O-HO hydrogen bonds.
