Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu₂I₂(C₁₆H₁₈N₄)(C₆H₁₅P₃)₂]·2CH₃CN or [Cu₂{(Me-pk)₂en}(PPh₃)₂(I₂)]·2CH₃CN, the two copper(I) ions are bridged by one N,N'-bis(1-pyridin-2-ylethylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine ligand [(Me-pk)₂en], forming a dinuclear inversion-symmetric copper(I) complex with the two Cu atoms in distorted tetrahedral environments and a CuCu separation of 6.2577 (6) Å.
