Heteroleptic copper(i) complexes with coumarin-substituted aminodiphosphine and diimine ligands: synthesis and photophysical studies

Abstract

The synthesis of heteroleptic Cu(i) complexes with coumarin-functionalized aminodiphosphine and diimine ligands is described. The complexes show yellow to deep-red phosphorescence in the solid state at ambient temperature with quantum yields up to 21%. The emission color of the complexes can be tuned by systematic modifications in the ligand system.
