Temperature-dependent solid-state luminescence and reversible phase transition of (n-Bu4N)[Au(SC6H3-3,5-Me-2)(2)]
The solid-state luminescence, thermal behavior, and phase transition of the gold(I) complex with 3,5-dimethylbenzenethiolate are discussed. The emission decay process of this complex switches accompanied by the reversible phase transition without destruction of the crystal lattice.
