Abstract

The centrosymmetric title compound, [Cu(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(25)H(22)P(2))(2)](BF(4))(2), consists of discrete dinuclear cations and tetra-fluoro-borate anions. The two Cu(I) centers are bridged by the phosphine ligands to form an eight-membered ring. The Cu(I) center exhibits a tetra-hedral coordination as it is chelated by the N-heterocycle.
