Luminescent gold(I) macrocycles with diphosphine and 4,4′-bipyridylligands
Abstract
The complexes [{–Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2AuNC5H4C5H4NAu–}x]2x+ [CF3CO2−]2x (n = 1–6) were prepared as colourless, air-stable solids by reaction of ⋯
Au contacts of 3.106(1) and 3.084(1) Å. Some of the complexes are strongly emissive at room temperature in solution and in the solid state.
