title: Methanol triggered ligand flip isomerization in a binuclear copper(I) complex and the luminescence response.
abstract: Methanol drives the blue emissive complex, [Cu(2)(dppy)(3)(MeCN)](BF(4))(2) (dppy = diphenylphosphino-pyridine), with a head-to-tail arrangement of the three bridging phosphine ligands to convert to its linkage isomer (head-to-head, green emissive) in the solid state, and the transformation could be reversibly realized through recrystallization in different solvents.
