Tetranuclear copper(I) clusters: impact of bridging carboxylate ligands on solid state structure and photoluminescence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2007 Oct 7:(37):3853-5. doi: 10.1039/b707957e.

Abstract

The X-ray crystallographic characterization and solid state photoluminescence (PL) study of three new tetranuclear copper(I) clusters, [Cu4(O2CR)4], R = (3-F)C6H4 (1), (2,3,4-F)3C6H2 (2), and CF3/C6F5 (3), revealed a dependence of PL on the structural type.
