Ligand‐Dependent Locally Excited and Charge‐Transfer Emission in Linear Copper(I) Mesoionic Carbene Luminophores
We describe the synthesis of a family of photoemissive linear Cu(I) complexes bearing mesoionic carbenes (MIC) and amido ligands of the general formula Cu(MIC)NR2 (NR2 = carbazolide, diphenylamide). Careful tuning of the electronic and structural properties of both ligands enables modulation of the emission wavelengths...
