title: σ-Complexation as a strategy for designing copper-based light emitters.
abstract: Strongly emissive cuprous complexes containing a stable σ-SiH-Cu motif were prepared. These complexes serve as a proof of principle that σ-complexation can be utilized as a design principle for engineering responsive light emitting materials. Their excited state lifetimes were found to be long (∼20 μs) with high quantum yields (φ = 0.40-0.59).
