title: Synthesis, photophysics, electrochemistry, theoretical, and transient absorption studies of luminescent copper(I) and silver(I) diynyl complexes. X-ray crystal structures of [Cu3(micro-dppm)3(micro3-eta1-C triple bond CC triple bond CPh)2]PF6 and [Cu3(micro-dppm)3(micro3-eta1-C triple bond CC triple bond CH)2]PF6.
abstract: A series of soluble trinuclear copper(I) and silver(I) complexes containing bicapped diynyl ligands, [M(3)(micro-dppm)(3)(micro(3)-eta(1)-C triple bond CC triple bond CR)(2)]PF(6) (M = Cu, R = Ph, C(6)H(4)-CH(3)-p, C(6)H(4)-OCH(3)-p, (n)C(6)H(13), H; M = Ag, R = Ph, C(6)H(4)-OCH(3)-p), has been synthesized and their electronic, photophysical, and electrochemical properties studied. The X-ray crystal structures of [Cu(3)(micro-dppm)(3)(micro(3)-eta(1)-C triple bond CC triple bond CPh)(2)]PF(6) and [Cu(3)(micro-dppm)(3)(micro(3)-eta(1)-C triple bond CC triple bond CH)(2)]PF(6) have been determined.
