A series of highly emissive neutral dinuclear silver complexes [Ag(PPh)(X)](tpbz) (tpbz = 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)benzene; X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)) was synthesized and structurally characterized. In the complexes, the silver atoms with tetradedral geometry are bridged by the tpbz ligand, and the ends of the molecules are coordinated by a halogen anion and a terminal triphenylphosphine ligand for each silver atom. These complexes exhibit intense white-blue (λ = 475 nm (1) and 471 nm (2)) and green (λ = 495 nm (3)) photoluminescence in the solid state with quantum yields of up to 98% (1) and emissive decay rates of up to 3.

The complexes were structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal analysis. Their photophysical properties were studied in detail.
