%X In the centrosymmetric binuclear title compound, [Cu2(C7H5O2)4(C7H9N)2], the CuII atom is coordinated by four O atoms from benzoate anions and one N atom from a dimethylpyridine ligand. A paddle-wheel-like dimer is formed by two CuII ions and four benzoate anions with two 3,5-dimethylpyridine ligands at the axial position of the CuII ions. The dihedral angle between the two unique benzene rings is 84.26 (16)¡ã. The dihedral angles between the pyridine ring and the benzene rings are 61.67 (15) and 34.27 (14)¡ã. There is ¦Ð¨C¦Ð stacking of inversion-related pyridine rings, with a centroid¨Ccentroid distance of 3.833 (2)  .
