“…To investigate whether ligands bearing an imine group, as shown in Scheme 1, also form photophysically interesting complexes, the synthesis of a copper(I) iodide complex was undertaken with R = benzyl. The ligand with R = Bn is not new but has already been used for the complexation of Re(I) [33], Fe [34], Co [35], Pd [36][37][38][39][40], Rh [41], Ru [42], Au [9,43], Pt [9,44], Ir [45], and Cu [46].…”
