An unprecedented octanuclear copper core with C(3i) symmetry and a paramagnetic ground state.
A complex of copper, possessing an octanuclear structure of high symmetry, has been prepared by a spontaneous self-assembly reaction of Cu(BF4)2 with N-tert-butyldiethanolamine and reveals a paramagnetic ground state.
