Abstract:
Four new copper(I) iodide complexes with 2-phenyl-5-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L), namely [Cu2I2L2(PPh3)2]·2CHCl3 (1·2CHCl3), [CuIL(PPh3)2]·MeOH (2), [Cu2I2L4]·MeCN (3), and [CuIL] (4), were synthesized and characterized by IR, TGA, PXRD, single crystal X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical methods. Triphenylphosphine containing complexes 1 and 2 are highly photoluminescent at room temperature in the solid state (λem = 585 and 523 nm for 1 and 2, respectively), while homoleptic complexes show a moderate emission under similar conditions (λem = 546 and 648 nm for 3 and 4, respectively). In addition, the emission color and/or efficiency was altered by thermal and mechanical stimuli, and the responsiveness was dependent on the complex structure. Efficient solution-processed yellow emitting OLEDs were fabricated based on 1 as the dopant. A high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 23% and a maximum current efficiency (CE) of 56 cd A-1 at a luminance of 1000 cd m-2 were achieved in the obtained device.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.
