Abstract

A hexanuclear Cu(I) cluster {Cu3(L)2}2 (1) based on a novel tripodal linker (L) has been synthesized. 1 shows intense emission (λmax = 560 nm) with lifetime 〈τ〉 = 224 μs and quantum yield = 27.6%. The emission is highly sensitive towards different electron rich and electron deficient aromatics. DFT calculations were performed to understand the origin of emission and sensing properties.
