Copper(I) Thiocyanate Complexes with tert-Butylpyridylphosphine Ligands: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties
摘要
Abstract
The reactions of bis(2-pyridyl)-tert-butylphosphine (L1) and bis(tert-butyl)(2-pyridyl)phosphine (L2) with copper(II) thiocyanate afford the corresponding binuclear complexes [Cu2(SCN)2(L1)2] (I) and [Cu2(SCN)2(L2)2] (II). In complex I, two L1 molecules are coordinated to the copper atoms via the P,N,N′-bridging mode according to the “head-to-tail” type, and the SCN ligands are coordinated via the N-monodentate mode. In complex II, molecules of ligand L2 are coordinated via the P-monodentate mode, and the SCN ligands bind two copper atoms between each other via the “head-to-tail” type thus acting as S,N-bridges. Complex I exhibits pronounced photoluminescence thermochromism.
