Unprecedented highly efficient photoluminescence in a phosphorescent Ag(I) coordination polymer

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Apr 13;59(31):4616-4619. doi: 10.1039/d3cc00179b.

Abstract

A luminescent three-dimensional coordination polymer (CP) of [CdII(pmd){AgI(CN)2}2] (1; pmd = pyrimidine) comprising two different coordination modes of Ag+ ions was synthesised herein. 1 exhibited thermochromic luminescence, accompanied by positive thermal elongation of the Ag⋯Ag distance. Moreover, 1 showed a bright phosphorescence with the highest photoluminescence quantum yield (Φem), approximately 60% at room temperature, among previously reported phosphorescent Ag-based CPs or metal-organic frameworks.
