Luminescent Cu(I) complex with bis(indazol-1-yl)phenylmethane as chelating ligand

• The cationic Cu(I) complex [Cu(N^N)2]+, where N^N is bis(indazol-1-yl)phenylmethane, was synthesized as chloride or tetrafluoroborate salt by reacting CuCl or [Cu(NCCH3)4][BF4] with bis(indazol-1-yl)phenylmethane under mild conditions. The structure of [Cu(N^N)2]Cl was ascertained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex exhibited bright yellow emission upon excitation with near UV and violet light, attributed to triplet LLCT/MLCT transitions on the basis of experimental data and computational outcomes.
