Abstract: The title centrosymmetric compound, [Cu₂(C₈H₇O₃)₄(C₂H₃N)₂], is a carboxylate-bridged dinuclear Cu^II complex with four phenoxyacetate and two acetonitrile molecules as ligands. Each of the four phenoxyacetate anions straddles the pair of Cu atoms, the Cu-Cu distance being 2.6618 (10) Å. A weak C-H interaction connects the dinuclear Cu^II units into a one-dimensional chain.
