AbstractThe carbazole derivatives 9‐(4‐isocyanophenyl)carbazole, 3,6‐dibromo‐9‐(4‐isocyanophenyl)carbazole, and 9‐ethyl‐3‐isocyanocarbazole were prepared and used to synthesize [AuX(CN‐carbazole)] (X = Cl, C6F5, C6F4‐OEt‐p) gold complexes. The X‐ray structures of [Au(C6F4‐OEt‐p)9‐(4‐isocyanophenyl)carbazole}] and [Au(C6F5)(9‐ethyl‐3‐isocyanocarbazole)], and the luminescent properties of the ligands and the complexes in the solid state, in solution at room temperature, and in frozen solution of chloroform at 77 K were determined. All the gold complexes show a redshift in the emissions relative to that of the free ligand. The presence of electron‐withdrawing substituents in 3,6‐dibromo‐9‐(4‐isocyanophenyl)carbazole quenches the luminescence, but with the introduction of a gold atom some luminescence is recovered.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
