AI Article Synopsis
- Phenylpropynyl-functionalized imidazolium salts and their gold complexes were synthesized successfully, serving as effective precursors for creating metal clusters.
- The gold complexes reacted with coinage metal phenylacetylides, specifically with copper and silver, leading to the formation of unique heterometallic hexanuclear clusters.
- These clusters exhibit mixed metallophilic interactions and display strong white photoluminescence when cooled to low temperatures.
Article Abstract
Phenylpropynyl-functionalized imidazolium salts, as well as their gold complexes, were prepared in excellent yields affording suitable starting materials for metal cluster synthesis. The reactions of these gold complexes with coinage metal phenylacetylides [M(CCPh)](x) (M = Cu, Ag) resulted in the formation of novel heterometallic hexanuclear clusters which exhibit mixed metallophillic interactions and intense white photoluminescence at low temperature.
