The title centrosymmetric compound, [Cu2(C8H7O3)4(C2H3N)2], is a carboxylate-bridged dinuclear CuII complex with four phenoxyacetate and two acetonitrile molecules as ligands. Each of the four phenoxyacetate anions straddles the pair of Cu atoms, the Cu—Cu distance being 2.6618 (10) Å. A weak C—Hπ interaction connects the dinuclear CuII units into a one-dimensional chain.
