Twisted and Disconnected Chains: Flexible Linear Tetracuprous Arrays and a Decanuclear Cu I Cluster as Blue- and Green/Yellow-Light Emitters. Inorg Chem 2024; 63:12943-12957. [PMID: 38935842 PMCID: PMC11256752 DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.4c01646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024]
Abstract
Defined arrays of transition metal ions embedded in tailored polydentate ligand scaffolds allow for a systematic design of their physical properties. Such molecular strings of closed-shell transition metal centers are particularly interesting for Group 11 metal ions in the oxidation state +1 if they undergo metallophilic d10···d10 contact interactions since these clusters are oftentimes efficient photoluminescence (PL) emitters. Copper is particularly attractive as a sustainable earth-abundant coinage metal source and because of the ability of several CuI complexes to serve as powerful thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters in molecular/organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Our combined synthetic, crystallographic, photophysical, and computational study describes a straight tetracuprous array possessing a centrally disconnected CuI2···CuI2 chain and a continuous helically bent CuI4 complex. This molecular helix undergoes a facile rearrangement in diethyl ether solution, yielding an unprecedented nanosized CuI10 cluster (2.9 × 2.0 nm) upon crystallization. All three clusters show either bright blue phosphorescence, TADF, or green/yellow multiband phosphorescence with quantum yields between 6.5 and 67%, which is persistent under hydrostatic pressure up to 30 kbar. Temperature-dependent PL investigations in combination with time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations and void space analyses of the crystal packings complement a comprehensive correlation between the molecular structures and photoluminescence properties.

Abstract
Lappert's stannylene (Sn[N(SiMe3)2]2) has been reacted with various nitriles, dinitriles and trinitriles with the formation of heteroleptic amidotin(II) amidinates of the general formulae [RC(NSiMe3)2]SnN(SiMe3)2, R'{[C(NSiMe3)2]SnN(SiMe3)2}2 and R''{[C(NSiMe3)2]SnN(SiMe3)2}3, where R = Ph (1), 2-(CN)-C6H4 (2), 3-(CN)-C6H4 (3); R' = 1,3-C6H4 (4), 1,4-C6H4 (5) and R'' = 1,3,5-C6H3 (6). The reactions of amidotin(II) benzamidinate 1 with an excess of benzonitrile proceed to homoleptic tin(II) bis(benzamidinate) [PhC(NSiMe3)2]2Sn, which reversibly eliminates benzonitrile and 1 when warmed. The premise of reversibility has been supported by a multinuclear time-dependent NMR study and a theoretical (DFT) description. On the other hand, magnesium(II) bis(benzamidinate) [PhC(NSiMe3)2]2Mg (8) and lanthanum(II) tris(benzamidinate) [PhC(NSiMe3)2]3La (7) have been synthesised from appropriate metal hexamethyldisilazides and benzonitrile.
