In the the title compound, [Co(C(8)H(10)O(4))(C(14)H(14)N(4))](n), the Co(II) atom is four-coordinated by two N atoms from two different 1,2-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene ligands and two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two different cyclo-hexane-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate anions in a tetra-hedral coordination geometry. The resulting structure is a two-dimensional polymer with layers in the (100) plane.
