Abstract: The dinuclear molecule of the title compound, [Cu₂(C₂O₄)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₄]·2CH₂Cl₂, lies across an inversion center with a strictly planar bridging oxalate ligand coordinating two Cu^I ions via two pairs of O atoms. Two triphenylphosphine ligands also coordinate each symmetry-related Cu^I ion, resulting in a distorted tetrahedral geometry [O-Cu-O = 80.57 (5)° and P-Cu-P = 125.72 (2)°]. In the crystal, there are two dichloromethane solvent molecules for each dinuclear complex.
