Energies of (3s2 3p6 3d9 4l4l'), (3s2 3p5 3d10 4l4l'), and (3s 3p6 3d10 4l4l') states for Cu-like ions with Z = 30 -100 are evaluated to second order in relativistic many-body perturbation theory (RMBPT) starting from a Ni-like Dirac-Fock potential. Second-order Coulomb and Breit-Coulomb interactions are included. Correction for the frequency-dependence of the Breit interaction is taken into account in lowest order. The Lamb shift correction to energies is also included in lowest order. Intrinsic particle-particle-hole contributions to energies are found to be 20-30% of the sum of one- and two-body contributions. Transition rates and line strengths are calculated for the 3l-4l' electric-dipole (E1) transitions in Cu-like ions with nuclear charge Z = 30 - 100. RMBPT including the Breit interaction is used to evaluate retarded E1 matrix elements in length and velocity forms. First-order RMBPT is used to obtain intermediate coupling coefficients and second-order RMBPT is used to calculate transition matrix elements. A detailed discussion of the various contributions to the dipole matrix elements and energy levels is given for copperlike tungsten (Z = 74). The transition energies used in the calculation of oscillator strengths and transition rates are from second-order RMBPT. Trends of the transition rates as functions of $Z$ are illustrated graphically for selected transitions. Comparisons are made with available experimental data. These atomic data are important in modeling of M-shell radiation spectra of heavy ions generated in electron beam ion trap experiments and in M-shell diagnostics of plasmas.
