Recent Progress in Luminescent Cu(I) Halide Complexes: A Mini-Review

Front Chem. 2022 Jan 25:9:816363. doi: 10.3389/fchem.2021.816363. eCollection 2021.

Abstract

Copper(I) halide complexes are well sought-after materials due to their rich structural diversities and photophysical properties. Profoundly, there is a direct relationship between each structural variation and luminescence of these complexes, for a purported use. In this review, recent publications within the last 2 years about copper(I) halide complexes, centering on their structural dimensionalities with derivatives of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur ligands, have been considered alongside their effects on luminescence.

Keywords: copper(I) halides; luminescence; nitrogen ligands; phosphorus ligands; sulfur ligands.
