The usefulness of percent volume buried (%Vbur) as a readily quantifiable property is investigated with regard to [Cu(NN)(PP)]+ complexes of interest for lighting purposes. Photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and single crystal X-ray structures of 100 reported compounds were assembled, %Vbur of the ligand systems were calculated and analyzed for correlations. We found that increased shielding of the central Cu(I) cation relying on shared contributions of both (NN) and (PP) ligand systems led to increased PLQYs. These findings are of relevance for future characterizations of Cu(I)-based complexes and their photophysical behavior in the solid-state.

The reduction of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc) with 2.2 equivalents of potassium graphite in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) gives [K2(DME)4]PcMg(OH)(1) in 67% yield. Compound 1 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to be a monomeric, heterometallic complex consisting of a μ3-OH ligand that bridges a [MgIIPc3-]- anion to two potassium cations solvated by four DME molecules. An absorption spectrum of 1 confirms the Pc ligand is singly reduced and has a 3–charge. The solid-state structure of 1 does not indicate breaking of the aromaticity of the Pc ligand. Compound 1 is only the second Pc3- complex and the first reduced MgPc to be isolated and structurally characterized.

<div>We report the first single crystal structures of hypochlorite and hypobromite salts, including hydrated sodium hypochlorite - a ubiquitous bleaching and disinfection agent in use for almost 200 years. The structures represent the first characterization of fundamentally important hypochlorite and hypobromite anions in the solid state, by X-ray crystallography and are supported by Raman spectroscopy on individual crystals. The structural analysis provides insight into supramolecular chemistry of the hypohalite ions in the hydrated environment of the NaOCl<sup>.</sup>5H<sub>2</sub>O and NaOBr<sup>.</sup>5H<sub>2</sub>O solid salts, and reveals measured Cl-O and Br-O bond lengths of 1.69 A and 1.82 A, respectively, which are significantly longer than those for corresponding higher-valence oxoanions, and in agreement with the values spectroscopically determined for hypohalous acids and corresponding oxides in the gas phase.<br></div>

A new novel family of tricyclic sulfur and/or selenium-containing heterotriacenes 2–4 with an increasing number of selenium (Se) atoms is presented. The heterotriacene derivatives were synthesized in multistep synthetic routes and the crucial cyclization steps to the stable and soluble fused systems were achieved by copper-catalyzed C–S and C–Se coupling/cyclization reactions. Structures and packing motifs in the solid state were elucidated by single crystal X-ray analysis and XRD powder measurements. Comparison of the optoelectronic properties provides interesting structure–property relationships and gives valuable insights into the role of heteroatoms within the series of the heterotriacenes. Electrooxidative polymerization led to the corresponding poly(heterotriacene)s P2–P4.

The reactions of the dithiolato-o-carborane salt (Et3NH)2(S2C2B10H10) (2) with alkyl halides BrCH2CH=CH2, BrCH2CH2CH2Cl and C6H5CH2Cl, afford the o-carboranyl-bisthioether derivatives 3a - c, which have been characterized by IR and NMR (1H, 13C, 11B) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (3c). The photoluminescent properties of the known compound 3c has been investigated. It exhibits a violet (chloroform solution) or blue (solid state) emission when excited with UV light.

The compound (η5-C5Me5)W(NO)I2 has been prepared by treating (η5-C5Me5)W(NO)(CO)2 with I2. A single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis establishes that the formally 16-electron complex possesses a monomeric, three-legged piano stool molecular structure in the solid state. Solution molecular weight measurements also indicate no significant degree of association of the compound.

The preparation and characterization of two π-cation radical derivatives of copper β-oxoporphyrins is described. [3,3,8,8,13,13,17,18-octaethyl-(3H,8H,13H)-porphine-2,7,12-trionato (2-)] copper π-cation radical, [ Cu (2,7,12-trioxoOEHP·)]+, and [3,3,8,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-(3H,8H)-porphine-2,7-dionato(2-)] copper π-cation radical, [ Cu (2,7-dioxoOEiBC·)]+, have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray determinations, UV/vis/NIR, and IR spectroscopies. Both molecules have modest distortion from the planarity and show monomeric units in the solid state. [ Cu (2,7-dioxoOEiBC·)]+ shows a concentration dependent near-IR band at 1410 nm.

A series of [Cu(P^P)(N^N)][PF6] compounds are reported in which N^N is 2,9-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline (2,9-Br2phen), 3,8-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline (3,8-Br2phen) or 4,7-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-Br2phen) and P^P is bis(2-(diphenylphosphano)phenyl)ether (POP) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphano)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (xantphos). The compounds were characterized by solution multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Each compound underwent a partially reversible or irreversible copper-centred oxidation, the highest potential being for 2,9-Br2phen-containing compounds. In solution, the compounds are weak yellow or orange emitters, whereas powdered samples exhibit yellow emissions with photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 45% for [Cu(xantphos)(2,9-Br2phen)][PF6] with an excited state lifetime τ1/2 = 9.9 μs. Values of λemmax for [Cu(POP)(2,9-Br2phen)][PF6] and [Cu(xantphos)(2,9-Br2phen)][PF6] are blue-shifted with respect to compounds with the 3,8-and 4,7-isomers, both in solution and in the solid state.
