Abstract

A series of soluble trinuclear copper(I) and silver(I) complexes containing bicapped diynyl ligands, [M(3)(micro-dppm)(3)(micro(3)-eta(1)-C triple bond CC triple bond CR)(2)]PF(6) (M = Cu, R = Ph, C(6)H(4)-CH(3)-p, C(6)H(4)-OCH(3)-p, (n)C(6)H(13), H; M = Ag, R = Ph, C(6)H(4)-OCH(3)-p), has been synthesized and their electronic, photophysical, and electrochemical properties studied. The X-ray crystal structures of [Cu(3)(micro-dppm)(3)(micro(3)-eta(1)-C triple bond CC triple bond CPh)(2)]PF(6) and [Cu(3)(micro-dppm)(3)(micro(3)-eta(1)-C triple bond CC triple bond CH)(2)]PF(6) have been determined.
