In the title compound, C25H22P2Se2 (dppmSe2), the methylene carbon atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis, in contrast to the previously known modification, which had no imposed symmetry. The conformation is expressed by the torsion angle Se—PP—Se 148.12 (7)°. Bond lengths and angles are similar to those in other dppmX2 molecules.
