catena-Poly[[[(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')copper(II)]--terephthalato-²O:O'] terephthalic acid hemisolvate]

Y.-H. Wen and S. W. Ng

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)]_n·0.5nC₈H₆O₄, the terephthalate dianion links adjacent Cu atoms into a zigzag chain. The kink at the metal linkage is nearly a right angle. The metal atom shows square-planar coordination. The solvent terephthalic acid molecule is disordered about a centre of inversion; it occupies the space between chains but is not hydrogen bonded to any.
