(μ-4,4′-Bipyridine-κ2N:N′)bis[(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(triphenylphosphine-κP)copper(I)] bis(tetrafluoroborate)

Abstract

The dinuclear cation in the title compound, [Cu2(C10H8N2)(C12H8N2)2(C18H15P)2](BF4)2, lies on a centre of inversion. Each CuI atom is coordinated by 1,10-phenanthroline, triphenyl­phosphine and a bridging 4,4′-bipyridine mol­ecule, and has a distorted tetra­hedral coordination geometry. The two CuI atoms are displaced by 0.32 (1) Å on either side of the mean plane of the 4,4′-bipyridine unit.
