Rare organometallic complexes can be stabilized by using an N‐confused system as a carbon ligand. A stable organocopper( II ) compound of N‐confused calix[4]phyrin has been characterized by X‐ray crystallography (see picture). Complete π conjugation was found not to be a prerequisite for the formation of the metal–carbon bond.
