Abstract
A binuclear Au-P complex [Au2(2-bdppmapy)2](PF6)2 (1) was synthesised by the reaction of 2-bdppmapy (N,N'-bis-(diphenylphosphanylmethyl-2-aminopyridine) with AuCN and [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6. The solid phase of 1 emitted bright yellow phosphorescence at λmax = 580 nm under UV excitation (QY = 4.41%, τ = 1.88 μs), which shifted to green (λmax = 551 nm, QY = 5.73%) after being pressurised under 5 MPa. This colour change was recoverable upon exposure to CH2Cl2 vapor. Similar mechanochromic photoluminescence behaviour was observed after grinding the crystals of 1. A filter paper impregnated with 1 demonstrated recyclable write/erase functionality for encrypted information transfer.
期刊介绍:
Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049, CODEN: MOLEFW) is an open access journal of synthetic organic chemistry and natural product chemistry. All articles are peer-reviewed and published continously upon acceptance. Molecules is published by MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Our aim is to encourage chemists to publish as much as possible their experimental detail, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section. In addition, availability of compound samples is published and considered as important information. Authors are encouraged to register or deposit their chemical samples through the non-profit international organization Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI). Molecules has been launched in 1996 to preserve and exploit molecular diversity of both, chemical information and chemical substances.
