The coexistence of P 4+ and P 5+ in one complex and the presence of an ethane‐like hexaselenodiphosphato ligand, P 2 Se 6 4− , are the novel features of the title compounds (see structure, in which R=Et or i Pr; OR groups omitted for clarity). The coordination mode of P 2 Se 6 4− in these dodecanuclear copper species is unprecedented and has not even been identified in any mixed ligands containing Group 15/16 elements.
