title: {μ-trans-N,N'-Bis[(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)meth-yl]benzene-1,4-diamine-κP:P'}bis-{(acetonitrile-κN)[dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine-κN,N]copper(I)} bis-(tetra-fluoridoborate).
abstract: In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Cu(2)(C(2)H(3)N)(2)(C(18)H(10)N(4))(2)(C(32)H(30)N(2)P(2))](BF(4))(2), the Cu(I) centre is coordinated by two N atoms from a dipyridophenazine ligand, one P atom from an N,N'-bis-[(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)meth-yl]benzene-1,4-diamine (bpbda) ligand, and one N atom from an acetonitrile mol-ecule in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The bpbda ligand, lying on an inversion center, bridges two Cu(I) centres into a Z-shaped complex. Intra-molecular π-π inter-actions between the dipyridophenazine ligand and the benzene ring of the bpbda ligand are observed [centroid-centroid distance = 3.459 (3) Å]. The crystal structure also involves inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between the dipyridophenazine ligands [centroid-centroid distance = 3.506 (3) Å], which lead to a one-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
