title: In situ C-C coupling and formation of a heptanuclear copper(II) cluster.
abstract: The reaction of CuCl(2) with H(2)Meppz and a base under low temperature gave rise to a heptanuclear copper compound, in which a novel ligand 2,2'-bis(H(2)Meppz) (H(4)L') was obtained through in situ C-C coupling.
