Abstract
The synthesis and the photophysics of three dinuclear copper(I) complexes containing bis(bidentate)phosphine ligands are described. The steric constraint imposed by tetrakis(di(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphanyl)cyclobutane) (o-MeO-dppcb) in combination with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline in one of the complexes leads to interesting photophysical properties. The compound shows an intense emission at room temperature in deoxygenated acetonitrile solution (Φ = 49%) and a long excited-state lifetime (13.8 μs). Interestingly, at low temperature, 77 K, the emission maximum shifts to lower energy, and the excited-state lifetime increases. This observation leads to the conclusion that a mixing between the excited triplet and singlet states is possible and that the degree of mixing and population of state strongly depends on temperature, as the energy difference is quite small. The electroluminescent properties of this compound were therefore tested in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEECs), proving that the bright emission can also be obtained by electrically driven population of the singlet state.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
