Not so far away from me : Reductive cleavage of a disulfide ligand with Cu I leads to the formation of a new mixed‐valent Cu II Cu I complex (see picture). Combined X‐ray and theoretical investigations highlight the presence of a striking Cu 2 S core containing a CuCu bond, and solution studies also indicate a high degree of delocalization.
