The supramolecular synthesis of an original thermochromic metal-rich Cu(i) metallacycle (quantum yield 72% at RT) is reported. Important geometrical changes reinforcing cuprophilic interactions are calculated at the excited states.

Compounds containing copper(I) are of interest for their role in biological processes. The nature of short (< ∼3.2 Å) Cu...Cu contacts within these compounds has been debated, being either described as weakly attractive (bonding) `cuprophilic' interactions, or simply as short metal–metal distances constrained by ligand geometry or largely ionic in nature. The title three-dimensional Cu+-containing coordination polymer, [Cu3(C7H7N2O2)Cl2]n, was formed from thein situreduction of CuCl2in the presence of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid and KOH under hydrothermal conditions. Its complex crystal structure contains ten distinct CuIatoms, two of which lie on crystallographic inversion centres. The copper coordination geometries include near-linear CuOCl and CuN2, T-shaped CuOCl2and distorted tetrahedral CuOCl3groups. Each CuIatom is also associated with two adjacent metal atoms, with Cu...Cu distances varying from 2.7350 (14) to 3.2142 (13) Å; if all these are regarded as `cuprophilic' interactions, then infinite [\overline{1}01] zigzag chains of CuIatoms occur in the crystal. The structure is consolidated by N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds.

Cuprophilic interactions can greatly enhance the radiative rate constants via either exceptionally fast phosphorescence or TADF, and thus present a design motif for highly efficient CuI-based emitters.
