Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₈H₄O₄)(C₅H₆N₂)₂]_n, exhibits a polymeric zigzag chain structure extended along the c axis in the solid state. Each Cu^II ion is located on a crystallographic center of symmetry and is coordinated by two N [Cu-N = 1.993 (3) Å] and two O [Cu-O = 1.952 (2) Å] atoms in a distorted square-planar geometry. Weak C-HO interactions contribute to the crystal packing stability.
