Novel electrochemi-/photo-luminescence of Ag3Cu5 heterometallic alkynyl clusters

Dalton Trans. 2015 Mar 7;44(9):3941-4. doi: 10.1039/c4dt03369h.

Abstract

Two windmill-like Ag3Cu5 alkynyl clusters were synthesized and characterized. They display novel PL and ECL properties, which could be modified by changing the substituent on the alkynyl ligands. According to the study of electrochemical behaviours, ECL behaviours and ECL emission spectra of the Ag3Cu5 clusters, a possible ECL mechanism was proposed.
