Mixed crystal formation of two gold isocyanide complexes with various ratios for continuous tuning of photophysical properties

Abstract

Mixed crystals composed of two distinct gold isocyanide complexes are reported. Characterization of the mixed crystal formation and mixing ratios are performed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analyses. By changing the mixing ratio, we achieve continuous changes in the emission lifetimes and the emission quantum yields.
