Abstract

A new flexible bis(amidine) ligand featuring two additional N-donor groups incorporates a defined [Cu <superscript>I</superscript> MesCu <subscript>2</subscript> <superscript>I</superscript> ] <superscript>2+</superscript> fragment from mesitylcopper into a triangular cluster with a reactive organometallic coordination site. Subtle changes to the reaction protocol result in the formation of an intertwined tetracuprous arrangement that adopts the shape of a Möbius strip.
