Ligand‐Dependent Locally Excited and Charge‐Transfer Emission in Linear Copper(I) Mesoionic Carbene Luminophores

ABSTRACT We describe the synthesis of a family of photoemissive linear Cu(I) complexes bearing mesoionic carbenes (MIC) and amido ligands of the general formula Cu(MIC)NR 2 (NR 2 = carbazolide, diphenylamide). Careful tuning of the electronic and structural properties of both lig...

Orchestrating Anion–π + Interactions to Accelerate Metal‐Free Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence

ABSTRACT Overcoming the long‐standing trade‐off between efficiency and radiative rate in metal‐free phosphorescence remains a central challenge in molecular photophysics and is pivotal for the next‐generation optoelectronic technologies. Here, we demonstrate that tuning the stren...
