In the centrosymmetric title binuclear complex, [Zn2(C8H7O2)4(C7H10N2)2], the Zn atoms [Zn...Zn = 3.0287 (6) Å] are bridged by four 4-methylbenzoate ligands. The four nearest O atoms around each ZnII atom form a distorted square-planar arrangement with the distorted square-pyramidal coordination completed by the pyridine N atom of the 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine ligand. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions link the molecules into infinite chains. The chains are further linked by weak C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
