Synthesis, Characterization and Luminescence of Silver(I) and Gold(I) Complexes Bearing a Diethyl Acetal Functionalized N-Heterocyclic Carbene

Poly(4-vinylpyridine) as ligand for Au(I) and Zn(II) cations: luminescent metal-containing polymers

“…Therefore, the bands in the excitation spectra could not be assigned to π-π* transition of the pyridine moiety. In fact, these values are in the standard range of other complexes with aurophilic contacts in the solid state [31,48,49]. Complex 4 absorbs at 243 and 316 nm.…”

Ungewöhnlich effiziente strukturdirigierte Phosphoreszenz in Silber(I)‐Clustern, realisiert mit Carba‐closo‐dodecaboranylethinyl‐Liganden

“…Metallophile Wechselwirkungen können, obgleich aufgrund photolytischer Instabilität seltener beobachtet, auch für die Emissionseigenschaften von Ag I ‐Verbindungen verantwortlich sein, was z. B. für Silber(I)‐Komplexe anhand von Excimer‐Bildung gezeigt wurde –…”

Unprecedented Efficient Structure Controlled Phosphorescence of Silver(I) Clusters Stabilized by Carba‐closo‐dodecaboranylethynyl Ligands

“…[8b,9d, 20] In most cases,t he dominant emitting triplet state is assumed to be of cluster-centered ( 3 CC) nature as ac onsequence of aM n (ds*!ss)e xcitation, although 3 LMMCT (ligand-to-metal-to-metal charge transfer) and 3 MMLCT (metal-to-metal-to-ligand CT) are possible,a s well, resulting in ag eometric distortion and strengthening of the metal-metal bonds. [8b,20h, 21] Although less often observed due to the inherent photoinstability,m etallophilic interactions can also be responsible for the emission properties of Ag I compounds, [22] as has been demonstrated, for example,f or silver(I) complexes on the basis of excimer formation. [10,22c-e] Fort he photostable compounds 2-7,t he luminescence mechanism can be assumed to be similar to the 3 CC emission found for Cu I clusters.…”
