title: Diaqua-bis(benzyl-oxyacetato)copper(II).
abstract: In the title mononuclear complex, [Cu(C(9)H(9)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) ion, located on an inversion center, is hexa-coordinated by four O atoms from two benzyl-oxyacetate ligands [Cu-O = 1.9420 (14) and 2.2922 (14) Å] and two water mol-ecules [Cu-O = 2.0157 (15) Å] in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into layers parallel to the bc plane.
