Structure and spectroscopic properties of a luminescent inorganic cyclophane from self-assembly of copper(I) and two ligand components
Abstract
The reaction of trithiocyanuric acid (H3L) with CuCl(PPh3)3 gives [(CuPPh3)6L2], the structure of which shows two parallel triazine rings held in a close proximity of 3.07 Å by six Cu–S bridges; the complex [(CuPPh3)6L2] shows visible emission in the solid state and in fluid solution at room temperature.
