T for two : The use of [32]heptaphyrin ligands allows the synthesis of T‐shaped three‐coordinate copper(II) complexes. For a relatively flexible nonfused [32]heptaphyrin ligand, a copper(II)–arene interaction supplements the coordination deficiency, whereas a highly rigid quadruply N‐fused heptaphyrin ligand allows the formation of a three‐coordinate copper(II) complex with T‐shaped planar symmetry (see picture).
