title: Luminescence enhancement and tuning via multiple cooperative supramolecular interactions in an ion-paired multinuclear complex.
abstract: [(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(AgL)(2)](+)[Ag(5)(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(6)(CH(3)CN)](-) (L = 2-(N,N-diethylanilino-4-yl)-4,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine) shows bright and tunable emissions influenced by its supramolecular structure. Columnar stacks are assembled via cooperative interactions that include Ag(I)···Ag(I) argentophilic bonding, π···π stacking and Ag(I)···π interactions.
