Copper oxalate is supposed to be a ribbon-like molecule where each copper 2+ ions are surrounded by four oxygen atoms in a square plan. These four oxygen atoms involve two oxalate anions. A copper II oxalate molecule can be described as an infinite ribbon of alternatively copper (Cu 2+) and oxalate (C2O4 2-) groups.

Each copper 2+ cation is linked by two oxalate groups by weak electrostatic interactions with the four oxygen atoms.
