Abstract

Based on 2-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (PyPhen), two new copper(I) complexes, [Cu(PPh₃)₂(PyPhen)]BF₄ · CHCl₃ (1) and [Cu(DPEphos)(PyPhen)] BF₄ · 2CHCl₃(2) (PPh₃=triphenylphosphine, DPEphos= bis(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)ether) have been prepared and characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, SEM and X-ray crystal structure analysis. Structural analysis indicate that each Cu⁺ in 1 and 2 contains a distorted-tetrahedral [Cu(NN)(PP)]⁺moiety, and except inter/intra-molecular CH^…π and π⋯π weak interactions being found in crystal structures, the CCl⋯π interactions between the Cl atoms from CHCl₃ and the adjacent phenyl ring from phosphine ligand (PPh₃ or DPEphos) are observed with the Cl^…π distances of 3.526, 3.721 Å for 1 and 3.399, 3.545 Å for 2. DFT studies demonstrate that the HOMOs in 1 and 2 are mainly composed of copper d-orbital and phosphine ligand, while the LUMOs are primarily related to PyPhen, and the cations of complexes 1 and 2 at methanol, pyridine, dichloromethane and nitrobenzene would have some variation in the HOMO/ LUMO energies, HOMO → LUMO energy gap, Mülliken atomic charges and dipole moments. In addition, the solid-state luminescent properties of complexes 1 and 2 show that the maximum emission decay time and quantum yield reach 193 μs and 2.20 %, respectively.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including: • Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.) • Chemical intermediates • Molecules in excited states • Biological molecules • Polymers. The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example: • Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near) • Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.) • Electronic absorption spectroscopy • Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism • Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques • Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc. • Microwave spectroscopy • Electron diffraction • NMR and ESR spectroscopies • Mössbauer spectroscopy • X-ray crystallography • Charge Density Analyses • Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods) We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
