In the title compound, [Cu(3)(CN)(3)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)], two 2,2'-bipyridine N,N'-chelated Cu(I) atoms are linked by a cyanide bridge that lies about a center of inversion; the Cu(I) atom exists in a tetra-hedral coordination geometry. This dinuclear entity is linked to another Cu(I) atom that lies on a twofold rotation axis by another cyanide bridge, these bridges giving rise to the formation of a linear chain motif. ...[more]
