Synthesis and structural characterization of five new copper (I) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline and 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane(dppb)

Assembly of Heterometallic AuICu2I2 Cores on the Scaffold of NPPN-Bridging Cyclic Bisphosphine

“…Complexes of coinage metals attract increasing attention due to their rich photophysical properties resulting from a large variety of excited states. − Intense and tunable room-temperature emission of Cu, Ag, and Au complexes is shown to have promising potential for their application in a number of important technological areas, such as photoluminescent chemical sensors − and electroluminescent devices. − Additional variations of the photoluminescent properties of coinage complexes are achieved by the combination of Au I /Cu I , Au I /Ag I , or Cu I /Ag I metals in a core of a complex, which as usual gives intensive emission characterized by a high quantum yield of photoluminescence. ,,− For the controlled formation of heterometallic complexes, a specific spatial arrangement of donor atoms in the ligands is required …”
