Taking turns : Reaction of an anionic bis‐phosphine with Cu + produces a monomeric complex that crystallizes as a dimeric helicate (see picture). The helicate dissolves again in non‐coordinating solvents, but disassembles upon addition of a donor solvent. The observed behavior implies that the helicate is metastable in solution, and persists only because its disassembly is impeded by a high kinetic barrier.
