Structural evidence for the Gillard mechanism of covalent hydrates is provided by two mixed‐valence Cu I /Cu II complexes containing 2,2′‐bipyridine (see picture) or 1,10‐phenanthroline ligands, in which a hydroxy group is added to a carbon atom adjacent to a nitrogen atom. These complexes are synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of Cu(NO 3 ) 2 , the respective N,N ligand, and terephthalic acid.
