Cuprophilic interactions are observed between the two copper centers of the unprecedented dimer 2 , the structure of which contains two associated [Cu I Cl 2 ] − ions. The surrounding complex is derived from the internal reduction of the Cu II complex 1 , which displays a cis ‐divacant octahedral coordination geometry.
