Determination of the Metallophilic and Luminescent Properties of Phosphinopyridine-bearing Au(I)...Cu(I) Bimetallic Complexes

Abstract

This study investigates the luminescent and metallophilic properties of a small library of bimetallic Au(I)-Cu(I) complexes, based on different polymorphs of each complex generated through individual crystallization environments. The structural changes that occur upon external ligation by various solvents allow for a plethora of different colored emissions.
