Aquabis(benzoato-κO)bis­(1H-imidazole-κN3)copper(II) monohydrate

In the title compound, [Cu(C7H5O2)2(C3H4N2)2(H2O)]·H2O, the CuII atom is in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The mol­ecules are assembled into double chains extending along [010] by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These double chains are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to (\overline{1}02); the layers are linked into a three-dimensional network by van der Waals inter­actions.
