Abstract: The title compound, [Cu₃(C₆H₁₈NSi₂)(C₉H₂₄N₃Si₂)₂], is a trinuclear Cu^I complex. A crystallographic twofold axis passes through one Cu^I atom and the N atom of the bis(trimethylsilyl)amide ligand that bridges between the other two Cu^I atoms. The Cu-Cu bonds bridged by the guanadinate ligands [2.7913 (9) Å] are slightly longer than the Cu-Cu bond bridged by the bis(trimethylsilyl)amide ligand [2.6405 (11) Å].
