Photophysical properties of three coordinated copper(i) complexes bearing 1,10-phenanthroline and a monodentate phosphine ligand.

We report the synthesis and photophysical properties of Cu(i) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and monodentate phosphine ligands. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed that these have three-coordinated trigonal planar geometries. We also found that one of them, [Cu(phen)(Johnphos)]BF
