<p>In order to study the catalytic activity of Cu(II) coordination polymer material, a novel 1D chained Cu(II) coordination polymer material, [CuL(bipy)(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>5</sub>]n (A1) (H<sub>2</sub>L = 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid, bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine), has been prepared by the reaction of 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid, 2,2’-bipyridine, Cu(CH<sub>3</sub>COO)<sub>2</sub>·H<sub>2</sub>O and NaOH. The composition of A1 was determined by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results of characterization show that each Cu(II) atom adopts six-coordination and forms a distorted octahedral configuration. The catalytic activity and reusability of A1 catalyst for A<sup>3</sup> coupling reaction of benzaldehyde, piperidine, and phenylacetylene have been investigated. And the results show that the Cu(II) complex catalyst has good catalytic activity with a maximum yield of 54.3% and stability. Copyright © 2017 BCREC GROUP.
