title: Unprecedented binding and activation of CS2 in a dinuclear copper(I) complex.
abstract: The first structural characterisation of a copper-carbondisulfide complex revealed a hitherto unknown binding mode for CS(2): it interacts with two metal centres (Cu(I)) simultaneously via both C=S π bonds. DFT calculations showed that complex formation occurs mainly due to a donation of electron density from the copper centres into the C=S π* orbitals.
