The synthesis of the ligand 1,3‐bis(3′‐pyridylethynyl)benzene and the coordination complex formed with copper( II ) acetate is described. The complex is hexagonal with two ligands bridged by paddlewheel‐shaped dimeric copper( II ) acetate moieties. The complexes are packed in such a way that the benzene rings from two separate complexes penetrate into the central cavity. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
