Abstract: The title complex, [Cu₂I₂(C₃₁H₂₈N₂P₂)₂]·CH₂Cl₂, has a dimeric structure where two Cu^I atoms are doubly bridged by two I atoms. An inversion center is located midway between the two Cu atoms. The coordination geometry around the Cu atom is distorted tetrahedral, formed by two P atoms from a bidentate N,N-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2-pyridinamine ligand and two iodine atoms. The complex has a metal-metal interaction with a CuCu distance of 3.068 (3) Å.
