The title molecule, [Cu(C7H5O2)2(C10H14N2O)2], is a crystallographically centrosymmetric mononuclear complex. The two benzoate ions are coordinated to the Cu atom as bidentate ligands. The N and nearest O atoms form a square-planar arrangement around the Cu atom, with the tetragonally distorted octahedral coordination completed by the remaining two carboxylate O atoms.
