The discovery of a novel triply bridging phosphine ligand in coordination with copper atoms has resulted in complexes with outstanding blue phosphorescence and potential practical applications.
The first example of a triply bridging (mu(3)-P) phosphine ligand has been discovered in the crown-shaped [Cu-3(mu(2)-Hal)(3)L] (Hal=Cl, Br, or I) complexes supported by tris[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]phosphine (L). Theoretical analysis completely confirms the observed mu(3)-P-bridging pattern, revealing the interaction of the same lone pair of phosphorus with three valence 4s-orbitals of Cu atoms. The presented complexes exhibit outstanding blue phosphorescence (lambda(em)=442-465 nm) with the quantum efficiency reaching 100 %. The complex [Cu-3(mu(2)-I)(3)L] also exhibits remarkable thermo- and mechanochromic luminescence resulting in a sharp change in the emission colour upon external stimuli. These findings essentially contribute to coordination chemistry of the pnictine ligands.
