Abstract

In the title centrosymmetric mononuclear copper(II) compound, [Cu(C14H9O3)(2)(C7H6N2)(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-benzoylbenzoate (2-byba) ligands in a square-planar geometry. The molecules are linked into chains running along the b axis by N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds and the chains are cross-linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
