Abstract
  • Cu(I) complexes and clusters are the largest class of compounds of relevant photochemical and photophysical interest based on a relatively abundant metal element. Interestingly, Nature has given an essential role to copper compounds in some biological systems, relying on their kinetic lability and versatile coordination environment. Some basic properties of Cu(I) and Cu(II) such as their coordination geometries and electronic levels are compared, pointing out the limited significance of Cu(II) compounds (d 9 configuration) in terms of photophysical properties. Well-established synthetic protocols are available to build up a variety of molecular and supramolecular architectures (e.g. catenanes, rotaxanes, knots, helices, dendrimers, cages, grids, racks, etc.) containing Cu(I)-based centers and exhibiting photo- and electroluminescence as well as light-induced intercomponent processes. By far the largest class of copper complexes investigated to date is that of Cu(I)-bisphenanthrolines ([Cu(NN)2]+) and recent progress in the rationalization of their metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) absorption and luminescence properties are critically reviewed, pointing out the criteria by which it is now possible to successfully design highly emissive [Cu(NN)2]+ compounds, a rather elusive goal for a long time. To this end the development of spectroscopic techniques such as light-initiated time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (LITR-XAS) and femtosecond transient absorption have been rather fruitful since they have allowed us to firmly ground the indirect proofs of the molecular rearrangements following light absorption that had accumulated in the past 20 years. A substantial breakthrough towards highly emissive Cu(I) coordination compounds is constituted by heteroleptic Cu(I) complexes containing both N- and P-coordinating ligands ([Cu(NN)(PP)]+) which may exhibit luminescence quantum yields close to 30% in deaerated CH2Cl2 solution and have been successfully employed as active materials in OLED and LEC optoelectronic devices. Also copper clusters may exhibit luminescence bands of halide-to-metal charge transfer (XMCT) and/or cluster centered (CC) character and they are briefly reviewed along with miscellaneous Cu(I) compounds that recently appeared in the literature, which show luminescence bands ranging from the blue to the red spectral region.
