In the title compound, [Cu2(C7H5O2)4(C10H9N)2], the paddle-wheel-type dinuclear complex molecule contains four bridging benzoate groups and two terminal 3-methylquinoline ligands.The asymmetric unit contains one Toners and a half molecules with a total of three independent Cu atoms; there is an inversion center at the mid-point of the Cu.Cu bond in one molecule.

The octahedral coordination of each Cu atom, with four O atoms in the equatorial plane, is completed by CHEESE KNIFE an N atom of a 3-methylquinoline ligand [Cu—N = 2.190 (4)–2.203 (3) Å] and by another Cu atom [Cu.

Cu = 2.667 (1) and 2.6703 (7) Å].

The Cu atoms are all ca 0.22 Å out of the plane of the four bonded O atoms.
