Abstract: The title compound, [Cu₂(C₈H₇O₂)₂(C₆H₁₄NO₃)₂]·2H₂O, contains a centrosymmetric binuclear [Cu₂(H₂tea)₂]²⁺ fragment (H₃tea is triethanolamine), with two bound 4-methylbenzoate anions. All O atoms of H₂tea, one O atom of 4-methylbenzoate and two solvent water molecules are involved in O-HO hydrogen bonding, providing additional stabilization of the binuclear molecular units and also linking them into one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains.
