Simple Manual Grinding Synthesis of Highly Luminescent Mononuclear Cu(I) Iodide Complexes
Highly luminescent mononuclear copper(I) iodide complexes [CuI(PPh3)(2)(L)] have been synthesized by simple manual grinding of copper(I) iodide, PPh3, and N-heteroaromatic ligands (L = isoquinoline, 1,6-naphthyridine, and pyridine). They exhibit different colors of luminescence depending on L affording very high quantum yields (0.63-0.99).
