title: A stable and strongly luminescent dinuclear Cu(I) helical complex prepared from 2-diphenylphosphino-6-methylpyridine.
abstract: Treatment of 2-diphenylphosphino-6-methylpyridine (dpPyMe) with Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)BF(4) afforded the stable dinuclear Cu(I) complex [Cu(2)(μ-dpPyMe)(3)(CH(3)CN)](BF(4))(2). This compound is a weak emitter in solution, however a remarkably high emission quantum yield (46%) has been found in a rigid matrix at room temperature.
