Herein we describe a structural characterisation with EXAFS of copper(I) arenethiolate complexes in both the solid and liquid state. Previously noted difficulties in the detection of the CuCu interaction have been attributed to anti‐phase behaviour of different CuCu neighbour contributions. A data...
