We report the synthesis and full characterization of the copper dinitrogen complex [(η1‐N2)Cu{Al(ORF)4}] 2 (RF=C(CF3)3) prepared by a cascade metathesis reaction of Ag[Al(ORF)4] with CuI‐excess in iso‐perfluorohexane (i‐pfh) under N2 atmosphere. Title compound 2 features an extraordinarily high N2 s...
