Abstract

In the centrosymmetric title complex, [Cu(2)(C(12)H(10)N(4))(C(18)H(15)P)(4)](BF(4))(2)·2CH(2)Cl(2), the Cu(I) atom adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, defined by two P atoms from two triphenyl-phosphine ligands and two N atoms from a pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine ligand. The two Cu atoms are bridged by the centrosymmetric pyridine-2-carbaldehyde azine ligand. The F atoms of the tetra-fluorido-borate anion are disordered over two sites [occupancy factors = 0.68 (5) and 0.32 (5)]. The dichloro-methane solvent mol-ecule is disordered over four sites, with occupancy factors of 0.513 (4), 0.173 (5), 0.141 (5) and 0.173 (5).
