Photophysical Studies and Excited-State Structure of a Blue Phosphorescent Gold−Thallium Complex
摘要:
The dinuclear complex {[Tl(eta(6)-toluene)][Au(C6Cl5)(2)]} (1) displays very intense blue phosphorescence and a rigidochromic behavior in the solid state. The photophysical measurements in a glassy solution display an oligomerization process via metal-metal interactions. Density functional theory calculations show a distortion of the aurate-thallium T shape in the lowest triplet excited state, leading to a triplet metal-to-metal charge-transfer state.
