A tetranuclear copper(I) complex, [Cu{μ-(PhP)NH}(μ-S)](PF) (), was synthesized. It was found to display intense and long-lived phosphorescence in the solid and solution states. The lowest-energy excited state was assigned as ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) [S → Cu] mixed with some metal-centered (ds/dp) character. In addition, the phosphorescent state of this complex was found to be quenched by pyridinium acceptors via an oxidative electron-transfer quenching process. An excited-state reduction potential of -1.74 V versus saturated salt calomel electrode was estimated through oxidative quenching studies with a series of structurally related pyridinium acceptors, indicative of its strong reducing power in the excited state. From the transient absorption difference spectrum of the tetranuclear copper(I) sulfido complex and 4-(methoxycarbonyl)--methylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate, in addition to the characteristic absorption of the pyridinyl radical at ca. 395 nm, two absorption bands at ca. 500 and 660 nm were also observed. The former was assigned as an LMCT absorption [S → Cu] and the latter as an intervalence charge-transfer transition, associated with the mixed-valence species Cu/Cu/Cu/Cu.

Tetrahedral copper(I) clusters [Cu(MBIZ)(PPh)] (), [Cu(MBOZ)(PPh)] () (MBIZ = 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, MBOZ = 2-mercaptobenzoxazole) were prepared by regulation of the copper-thiolate clusters [Cu(MBIZ)] () and [Cu(MBOZ)I] () with PPh. With the presence of iodide anion, the regulation provided the iodide-containing clusters [Cu(MBIZ)(PPh)I] () and [Cu(MBOZ)(PPh)I] (). The cyclic voltammogram of in MeCN (0.

A novel organo sulfur and selenium-controlled emission behavior in discrete copper(I) clusters has been demonstrated for the first time. The pentanuclear [CuBr()] (), trinuclear [CuBr()] (), dinuclear [CuI()] (), and tetranuclear [CuI()CHCN] () copper(I) discrete clusters have been synthesized from the reaction between [ = 1-isopropyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-imidazol-2-thione] or [ = 1-isopropyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-imidazol-2-selone] chelating ligands and corresponding copper(I) halide salts. These new clusters have been characterized by FT-IR, UV-visible, thermogravimetric analysis, and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques.

The synthesis of phosphine acetylide amidinate stabilized copper(I) and gold(I) heterobimetallic complexes was achieved by reacting ligand [{PhPC≡CC(NDipp)}Li(thf)] (Dipp=2,6-N,N'-diisopropylphenyl) with CuCl and Au(tht))Cl, yielding the eight membered ring [{PhPC≡CC(NDipp)}Cu] and the twelve membered ring [{PhPC≡CC(NDipp)}Au]. {PhPC≡CC(NDipp)}Cu] features a Cu unit, which is bridged by two amidinate ligands, served as a metalloligand to synthesize the heterobimetallic Cu/Au complexes [{(AuX)PhPC≡CC(NDipp)}Cu] (X=Cl, CF). In these reactions, the central ring structure is retained.

Here, we report the reactivity of copper(I) clusters toward sulfide ions; these sulfide copper(I) clusters have attracted much attention due to their relevance to biologically active centers and their fascinating structural and photophysical properties. Treatment of the Cu Rh pentanuclear complex, [Cu{Rh(aet)}] (aet=2-aminoethanethiolate), in which a {Cu } cluster moiety is bound by two fac-[Rh(aet)] metalloligands, with NaSH in water produced the Cu Rh decanuclear complex, [CuS{Rh(aet)}], accompanied by the dimerization of [Cu{Rh(aet)}] and the incorporation of a sulfide ion at the center. While similar treatment using the analogous Cu Ir complex with fac-[Ir(aet)] metalloligands, [Cu{Ir(aet)}], produced the isostructural Cu Ir decanuclear complex, [CuS{Ir(aet)}], the use of the Cu Rh complex with fac-[Rh(apt)] metalloligands, [Cu{Rh(apt)}] (apt=3-aminopropanethiolate), resulted in the removal of one of the three Cu atoms from {Cu } to afford the Cu Rh tetranuclear complex, [Cu{Rh(apt)}].

Copper(I) halides are well-known for their structural diversity and rich photoluminescence properties, showing great potential for the development of solid-state lighting technology. A series of four molecular copper iodide clusters based on the [CuI] cubane geometry is reported. Among them, [CuI] octanuclear clusters of rare geometry resulting from dimerization of the tetranuclear counterparts were also synthesized.
