✦ Synopsis

In the title compound, [Cu(C~7~H~4~O~3~)~2~(C~10~H~14~N~4~O)]~n~, the Cu^II^ atom lies on a centre of symmetry and is four-coordinated by two N atoms from two 1,1′-(oxydiethylene)diimidazole (BIE) ligands and two O atoms from two 4-methoxybenzoate anions in a square-planar geometry. Each BIE ligand links two Cu^II^ atoms to form an infinite chain structure along the c axis. The 4-methoxybenzoate anion, as a terminal ligand, attaches to both sides of the BIE–Cu^II^ chains.
