title: A novel luminescent copper(I) complex containing an acetylenediide-bridged, butterfly-shaped tetranuclear core.
abstract: A novel luminescent acetylenediide-bridged tetranuclear copper(I) complex [Cu4(mu-Ph2Ppypz)4(mu 4-eta 1,eta 2-C identical to C)]-(ClO4)2 [Ph2Ppypz = 2-(diphenylphosphino-6-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine] has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.
