title: Bis-(benzimidazole-κN)bis(2-benzoyl-benzoato-κO)copper(II).
abstract: In the title centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) compound, [Cu(C(14)H(9)O(3))(2)(C(7)H(6)N(2))(2)], the central Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related benzimidazole (bim) ligands and two O atoms from two symmetry-related 2-benzoyl-benzoate (2-byba) ligands in a square-planar geometry. The mol-ecules are linked into chains running along the b axis by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and the chains are cross-linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions.
