Just say S : Although gas‐phase mass spectrometry experiments suggested the existence of Cu I complexes with cyclosulfur ligands, such complexes had never been detected in the condensed phase. The use of “naked” Cu I sources with weakly coordinating anions enables the preparation of the first cyclododecasulfur complexes of any metal.
