Abstract: The new air-stable title complex, [Cu₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₃(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂](BF₄)₂, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The complex is a centrosymmetric dimer with pairs of Cu^I atoms bridged by 4,4'-bipyridine. In addition to the 4,4'-bipyridine N atom, each Cu^I atom is coordinated by one chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and one triphenylphosphine ligand to give a distorted CuN₃P tetrahedral geometry.
