Abstract
The reaction of cyclic trinuclear copper(I) and silver(I) pyrazolates [MPz]3 (Pz = 3,5-(CF3)2 Pz) with tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine (Py3P) in a 1:3 stoichiometric ratio in toluene (one phosphorus per metal center) results in the precipitation of binuclear complexes with the general formula [MPz(Py3P)]2: 1 (M = Cu), 2 (M = Ag) afforded solvent-incorporated analogues Subsequent crystallization from dichloromethane (DCM) afforded solvent-incorporated analogues: 3 (M = Cu), 4 (M = Ag). Structural analysis reveals fundamentally different solvent interactions: while DCM forms stabilizing CH-π hydrogen bonds in the Cu(I) complex 3 with minimal structural perturbation, the Ag(I) analogue 4 undergoes rapid solvent loss upon air exposure, accompanied by crystal degradation. Notably, the solvated silver(I) complex exhibits a shorter intramolecular Ag┄Ag distance (ca. 0.2 Å) compared to its non-solvated counterpart. All synthesized complexes shows metal- and solvent-dependent luminescence, with 1–3 demonstrating phosphorescence, while complex 4 demonstrates emission typical of thermally activated delayed fluorescence behavior (TADF). These findings underscore the pronounced influence of metal identity and solvent interactions on both structural and photophysical properties in this class of compounds.
期刊介绍:
Launched in January 1998, Inorganic Chemistry Communications is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of short communications in the major areas of inorganic, organometallic and supramolecular chemistry. Topics include synthetic and reaction chemistry, kinetics and mechanisms of reactions, bioinorganic chemistry, photochemistry and the use of metal and organometallic compounds in stoichiometric and catalytic synthesis or organic compounds.
