Tetra-kis(μ-4-chloro-benzoato-κ(2) O:O')bis-[(ethanol-κO)copper(II)](Cu-Cu)

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title Cu(II) complex, [Cu2(C7H4ClO2)(C2H5OH)2], the Cu-Cu distance is 2.5905 (4) Å. The two metal atoms are bridged by four 4-chloro-benzoate ligands and each has an ethanol mol-ecule in the axial position of the overall octahedral coordination environment. The crystal packing features O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
