Abstract

In the title dinuclear complex, [Cu(2)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(4)(C(2)H(5)OH)(2)], four 2-methyl-benzoato anions form a cage around two Cu(II) ions in a syn-anti configuration. Two ethanol mol-ecules coordinate the Cu atoms in apical positions, giving an overall square-pyramidal coordination geometry. The Cu⋯Cu separation is 2.600 (1) Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are assembled into chains extending in [001] through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
