AI Article Synopsis

  • The research involves creating trigonal planar Cu(I) iodide complexes using specific disilane ligands and studying how methyl group positions on the pyridine ring impact their structure and properties.
  • Characterization methods included NMR, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction, revealing different conformations of ligand coordination with Cu(I) that affected emission colors—blue-green for one complex and green-yellow for another.
  • The complexes demonstrated significant light emission properties, with high quantum yields and thermally activated delayed fluorescence at room temperature, showing unique optical behaviors analyzed through advanced computational methods.

Article Abstract

We synthesized trigonal planar Cu(I) iodide complexes with 1,2-bis(methylpyridin-2-yl)disilane ligands - and investigated how the substitution position of the methyl group on the pyridine ring in σ-π conjugation affects their structure and physical properties. The structures were characterized by NMR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystalline state, the methylpyridyl groups of - were coordinated with Cu(I) in an conformation relative to the Si-Si σ bond, whereas those of were coordinated with Cu(I) in a conformation relative to the Si-Si σ bond. The conformational difference in the crystalline state was influenced by the N-Cu-N bite angle and the emission wavelength. - exhibited blue-green emission (λ: 476-494 nm), and exhibited green-yellow emission (λ: 512 nm) with high emission quantum yields (Φ: 0.59-0.86) in the crystalline state at 293 K. These Cu(I) complexes exhibited thermally activated delayed fluorescence from the state at 293 K and phosphorescence from the state at 77 K in the crystalline state. The optical properties in the crystalline state were discussed by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. These complexes also displayed aggregation-induced emission in THF-water solution ( > 80%), although they did not show emission in dehydrated THF.
