Abstract A novel 1D-Linear coordination polymer [CaII(4–ABA)(CH3COO)(H2O)(DMF)]n (4-ABA = 4-aminobenzoic acid, DMF= Dimethyl formamide) has been synthesized successfully using DMF as one of the solvent by solvothermal synthesis. A single crystal X-ray studies of [CaII(4–ABA)(CH3COO)(H2O)(DMF)]n complex confirms the octa-coordinated calcium center with 4-ABA, DMF and water. It crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pnma and has a 1D polymeric ribbon structure containing Ca(II) structure with distorted bicapped trigonal prismatic geometry. The complex was successfully employed as a homogenous catalyst in bicarbonate mediated epoxidation of cyclohexene and the complex was found to be selective in oxidation as only one product was formed i.e. cyclohexene oxide.
