title: Insulated copper(I) "wires": structural variations and photoluminescence.
abstract: An unprecedented "molecular wire" type of structure for the copper(I) carboxylate family has been synthesized by utilizing copper-copper interactions and controllable switch of copper-oxygen interactions. Several modifications of the same complex, copper(I) 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate, have been isolated to allow evaluation of the structural variation effects on photoluminescent behavior.
