Heteroleptic neutral mononuclear cuprous complexes with dipyrrin derivatives and phosphine mixed-ligands including 1,3,7,9-tetramethyldipyrrin (1), 5-phenyl-1,3,7,9-tetramethyldipyrrin (2), 2,8-dibromo-1,3,7,9-tetramethyldipyrrin (3), 1,9-dichloro-5-phenyldipyrrin (4), 1,9-dibromo-5-phenyldipyrrin (5), 5-pentafluorophenyl-1,3,7,9-tetramethyldipyrrin (6) and 1,5,9-triphenyldipyrrin (7) have been synthesized and fully characterized. The central Cu(i) atoms of these complexes in general formulas of Cu(1-6)(PPh(3))(2) (1a-6a) and Cu(1-6)(DPEphos) (1b-6b) [DPEphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)ether] all exhibit a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry, while complex Cu(7)(PPh(3)) (7a) is tricoordinated in a pyramidal conformation due to the large steric hindrance of ligand 7. The oxidation potentials assigned to oxidations of Cu(i)-Cu(ii) are extraordinarily low in the range of 0.36-1.02 V vs. Ag/AgCl compared with traditional [Cu(phen)(PP)](+) analogues. Their emission maxima range from 495 to 595 nm in dichloromethane at room temperature with quantum yields of 0.05-4.03% and lifetimes on the order of nanoseconds. Unlike the characteristic MLCT emission in cationic Cu(i) complexes, the emissions are assigned to the dipyrrin-centered intraligand charge transition (ILCT) based on the fact that the increased conjugation within the dipyrrinato anion leads to a weaker metal-ligand interaction, thus preventing the mixing of π orbitals of ligand and 3d orbitals of Cu(i) atom. This conclusion is also supported by electrochemical data and theoretical calculations.
