Efficient one-pot green synthesis of tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(i) complex in aqueous media

New simple, fast, effective and environmentally friendly one-pot method for the synthesis of extensively used tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(i) complexes with BF4-, PF6- and ClO4- counterions is invented and optimized. The approach suggested allows using water as solvent and minimizes amounts of toxic organic reagents in the synthetic protocol.

Intramolecular non-covalent interactions as a strategy towards controlled photoluminescence in copper(i) complexes

In this work, we describe a new strategy for designing photoluminescent Cu(i) complexes. At its core are simple cyclophane inspired N-donor ligands featuring intramolecular interactions between aromatic units within a single molecule. Variation of the steric bulk inflicted a change in intramolecular stacking distances that in turn affected the emission colour of copper(i) complexes tunable in a 0.5 eV range from green to red. As the interactions driving emission are confined to the single molecule, no intermolecular aggregation is required to enable photoluminescence in solution, pristine crystals, or solution-cast polymer films. A crystallographic study provides a link between the spatial proximity of the aromatic rings of the ligands (ranging from 3.349 to 3.731 ?) and the enhancement of emission efficiency, which increases dramatically from 0.02 to 0.78 at 296 K as the ring spacing contracts. Photophysical and theoretical analyses confirm the involvement of intramolecular interactions in the formation of the emissive state and describe the observed phenomena at the molecular level.

Intermittent molecular shuttle as a binary switch

Action stations: Treatment of rotaxanes containing a 2,2′-bipyridine moiety between two bipyridinium stations with Cu1 ions gives rise to a new type of shuttling process. The switch between static and dynamic states is achieved through complexation of the Cu1 center to the 2,2′-bipyridine unit followed by decomplexation (see picture).
