Abstract: The title dinuclear complex, [Cu₂Cl₂(C₁₆H₁₃N₂P)₂], possesses a crystallographically imposed inversion center. Two Cu atoms are connected by two bridging phenylbis(2-pyridyl)phosphine ligands. Each Cu atom adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry, coordinated by one Cl atom [Cu-Cl = 2.3107 (6) Å], two N atoms [Cu-N = 2.065 (2) and 2.066 (2) Å] from one phenylbis(2-pyridyl)phosphine ligand and one P atom [Cu-P = 2.1757 (7) Å] from another ligand.
