The asymmetric unit of the title compound,  Contains two independent molecules. The Cu atoms are four coordinated in distorted tetrahedral configuration by two atoms from 5,5`-dimethyl-2,2`- bipyridine and two terminal atoms. In the Cuystal structure, inter molecular hydrogen bonds link the molecules. The are  contacts between the methyl groups and the pyridine and five member rings containing ...

In the title compound, C(11)H(15)N(3)O(3), one of the methyl groups attached to the benzamide unit is slightly twisted with a C-N-C-C torsion angle of 4.04 (13)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds together with a weak C-H⋯π inter-action.
