Abstract: The paddlewheel-type centrosymmetric dinuclear title complex, [Cu₂(C₇H₅O₂)₄(C₈H₆N₂)₂], contains four bridging benzoate groups and two terminal quinoxaline ligands. The octahedral coordination around each Cu atom, with four O atoms in the equatorial plane, is completed by an N atom of a quinoxaline molecule [Cu-N = 2.2465 (18) Å] and by the second Cu atom [CuCu = 2.668 (5) Å]. The Cu atom is 0.216 Å out of the plane of the four O atoms.
