The title tetra-nuclear Cu(II) complex, [Cu(4)(C(12)H(12)N(2)O(2))(4)(CH(3)O)(4)(ClO(4))(2)](ClO(4))(2), is located around an inversion center. Each Cu(II) atom is coordinated by two cis-O atoms from two bridging methano-late anions and two cis-N atoms from two bridging 1,4-bis-(4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)benzene (L) ligands in the basal plane, and is further coordinated by one O atom of the bridging perchlorate anion, forming a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The Cu⋯Cu separations in the recta-ngular core are 2.9878 (11) and 6.974 (1) Å. In the asymmetric unit, there are two L ligands with a syn conformation. In one L ligand, the dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the terminal 4,5-dihydro-1,3-oxazol-2-yl mean planes are 22.1 (4) and 33.1 (4)°, and in the other L ligand the corresponding dihedral angles are 29.3 (4) and 29.9 (4)°. The uncoordinated perchlorate anion is linked with the complex mol-ecules via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
