Abstract

Gaseous diffusion of diethyl ether into the solvothermal reaction mixture of copper cyanide (CuCN) with 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) in anhydrous acetonitrile leads to a copper cyanide complex Cu(CN)(bipy) (1) with a special helical chain structure. Solid-state luminescence experiments show that complex 1 can emit efficient red luminescence, and its possible emission mechanism was investigated in detail based on theoretical calculations. The results may be helpful for the design and synthesis of more efficient luminescent materials.
