Abstract:
Copper(I), as a d10 metal, is a promising affordable noncritical raw material finding great interest for the development of photoluminescent materials. Halide and thiolate-based copper(I) compounds are known for their efficient emission and good stability. In order to rationalize the effect of these two anions in the structure and photoemission of Cu(I) compounds, two new families of coordination polymers have been synthesized: the copper(I)-thiolates: [Cu(p-SPhX)]n (X = F, Cl, Br), and the copper halide thiolates: [Cu3Cl(p-SPhX)2]n (X = F, Cl, Br). The two families display different structural dimensionalities: 1D [Cu(p-SPhX)]n versus 2D [Cu3Cl(p-SPhX)2]n and they exhibit distinct photophysical properties: [Cu(p-SPhX)]n shows usual solid-state red emission, while [Cu3Cl(p-SPhX)2]n hasintense solid-state green anti-Stokes emission, associated, for the noncentrosymmetric compounds, X = F and Br, to non-linear optical (NLO) response, pointing out the effect of the weak halogen interactions of the thiolate ligands on the symmetry and the properties.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
