title: Organic vapor triggered repeatable on-off crystalline-state luminescence switching.
abstract: A nonporous crystalline solid consisting of an organoarsenic platinum(II) complex, i.e., a mononuclear diiodoplatinum(II) complex trans-PtI(2)(cis-DHDAtBu)(2) (1) with cis-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrakis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1,4-diarsinine (cis-DHDAtBu), shows on-off solid-state luminescence switching through reversible solvent vapor uptake and escape. The on-off switching of solid-state luminescence was achieved without changing the structure or electronic state of the organoarsenic platinum(II) complex.
