摘要
[Cu(I)(phen)(PPh3)(2)][BF4] crystallizes with two nonsymmetry-related molecules in the asymmetric unit. Synchrotron time-resolved X-ray diffraction experiments have shown that the two independent molecules distort differently on MLCT excitation. The luminescence decay of the crystals is biexponential with two different Stokes-shifts, the more rapid decay corresponding to the shorter wavelength emission. Its amplitude diminishes rapidly with an increase in temperature, indicating that this emission is not due to a thermal activation to a higher state. The double emission is attributed to the presence of two independent molecules with drastically different pacicing environments. It is concluded that the solid-state environment must be analyzed whenever photochemical properties of molecular solids are reported.
