The title compound has been synthesized and its crystals structure determined at room temperature. MW = 536.01, monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 22.193(5) Å, b = 8.038(2) Å, c = 15.699(4) Å, β = 119.64(2)°. The crystal structure consists of repeated [Cu(Him) 4 (H 2 O) 2 ] (Him = imidazole) cations and non‐coordinated terephthalato dianions. The copper(II) ion displays an elongated octahedral coordination being linked to the four nitrogen atoms of the four imidazole ligands and to the two oxygen atoms of the two water molecules. The terephthalato dianions are hydrogen bonded to the four water molecules and four imidazole groups.
