Tetra-kis(μ-4-ethyl-benzoato-κO:O')-bis-[(4-ethyl-benzoic acid-κO)copper(II)].

ABSTRACT: The molecule of the title compound, [Cu(2)(C(9)H(9)O(2))(4)(C(9)H(10)O(2))(2)], lies on a center of inversion. It consists of four bridging ethyl-benzoate ligands, forming a cage around two Cu atoms in a syn-syn configuration, and two monodentate ethyl-benzoic acid ligands bonded apically to the square-planar Cu atoms. The Cu⋯Cu distance is 2.6047 (5) Å.
