description

This work describes the synthesis, and structural, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies of a mononuclear silver(i) complex with the formula [Ag(Xantphos)(4,4'-(MeO)2-2,2'-bipy)]BF4·DCM (1·BF4) [Xantphos: 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9'-dimethylxanthene]. We provide meaningful insights into the enhancement of the photoluminescence features of this silver(i) complex compared to its copper(i) analogue.
