title: Bis(4-hy-droxy-benzoato-κO,O')bis-(pyridine-κN)copper(II).
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Cu atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by the N atoms of the two pyridine ligands, trans to each other, and to the carboxyl-ate O atoms of two bidentate 4-hy-droxy-benzoate ligands [Cu-O = 1.9706 (10) and 2.5204 (11) Å]. Hydrogen bonding between hy-droxy H and carboxyl-ate O atoms results in a layer structure parallel to the ab plane.
