The title compound [Cu2（μ2-dppm）2（MeCN）2（μ2-MeCN）]（ClO4）2·MeCN （dppm = bis（diphenylphosphino）methane） has been prepared and characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P21/n,with a = 11.904（6）,b = 20.755（11）,c = 24.744（13）A,β = 98.226（12）°,C58H56Cl2Cu2N4O8P4,Mr = 1258.93,V = 6051（5） A^3,Z = 4,Dc = 1.382 g/cm^3,μ = 9.52 mm^-1,F（000） = 2592,R = 0.0533 and wR = 0.1295 for 6175 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. Each Cu（I） center is tetrahedrally coordinated by two phosphine atoms from two bridging dppm ligands,one nitrogen atom from a terminally coordinated acetonitrile molecule,and another nitrogen atom from a μ2-acetonitrile molecule. The two Cu（I） centers are bridged by two dppm ligands as well as a unique acetonitrile molecule. The full molecule exhibits a ＇chair-like＇ configuration. This dinuclear complex exhibits intense or middle photoluminescence at room temperature in the solid state or actonitrile solution at 486 nm.
