title: Novel neutral octanuclear copper(I) complexes stabilized by pyridine linked bis(pyrazolate) ligands.
abstract: Two novel, neutral, octanuclear copper(I) complexes displaying twisted-boat Cu(8) conformations and short Cu-Cu interactions have been synthesized from hydrothermal reactions; the complexes show unusual multiple band emissions.
