Crystal structure of catena-poly[[[aqua­bis­(1H-imidazole-κN (3))copper(II)]-μ-3-({4-[(2-carboxyl­atoeth­yl)carbamo­yl]phen­yl}formamido)­propano­ato-κ(2) O:O′] dihydrate]

In the title polymeric complex, {[Cu(C(14)H(14)N(2)O(6))(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O}(n), the Cu(II) cation, located on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by one water mol­ecule and two imidazole mol­ecules as well as two symmetry-related 3-([4-[(2-carboxyl­atoeth­yl)carbamo­yl]phen­yl]formamido)­propano­ate dianions (L (2−)) in an approximately square-pyramidal geometry. The coordinating water mol­ecule is located on a twofold rotation axis while the L (2−) anion sits about an inversion center. The L (2−) anions bridge the Cu(II) cations, forming polymeric chains propagating along the [101] direction. In the crystal, O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H⋯π inter­action link the polymeric chains and the solvent water mol­ecules into a three-dimensional supra­molecular architecture.
