catena-Poly[[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)copper(II)]-μ-2,2′-iminodibenzoato-κ(4) O,O′:O′′,O′′′]

The structure of the title compound, [Cu(C(14)H(9)NO(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), consists of zigzag polymeric chains along the c axis. The asymmetric unit contains one Cu(II) atom which is coordinated by one 2,2′-imino­dibenzoate ligand and a one phenanthroline unit. Two intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. The supra­molecular structure is characterized by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network. The shortest centroid–centroid distances between neighbouring phenanthroline aromatic rings and 2,2′-imino­dibenzoate rings are 3.684 (1) and 3.640 Å, respectively. The shortest intra­chain Cu⋯Cu distance is 7.2885 (9) and the shortest Cu⋯Cu distance between Cu atoms in different chains is 7.1103 (6) Å.
