In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cu(C5H11N2O2)2], the Cu2+ ion, located on an inversion centre (Wyckoff position 2b), is in a square-planar environment, surounded by four O atoms of the N—O groups of two N-nitroso-N-pentylhydroxylaminate ligands [Cu—O = 1.9042 (17) and 1.9095 (16) Å]. The hydroxylaminate monoanions are bidentate chelating ligands. The Cu2+ cations form stacks along [010], with intermolecular CuN contacts of 3.146 (2) and 3.653 (2) Å.
