Luminescent Cu(i)-derivatives represent a highly desirable alternative to their noble metal analogues in view of copper's relative abundance and low environmental concerns while maintaining large color tunability, high quantum yield and low photo-thermal lability. Moreover, the large variety of structural forms, spanning from 0D mononuclear to 3D polynuclear compounds characterized by peculiar emissive features, opens the door to an incredibly huge family of Cu(i) derivatives with potential application in many different fields. The present review focuses on luminescent neutral 0D mono-, di-, tri- and tetranuclear Cu(i) complexes with N-donor ligands developed during the period 2020 to mid-2025. After a general overview, specific sections are dedicated to members of each nuclearity. Emphasis is given to compounds' stimuli responsiveness, in particular towards vapour exposure and thermal and mechanical perturbations.
鉴于铜的相对丰富性和较低的环境影响,同时保持较大的颜色可调性、高量子产率和低光热不稳定性,发光铜(I)衍生物是其贵金属类似物非常理想的替代品。此外,从具有独特发射特性的零维单核到三维多核化合物的多种结构形式,为具有潜在应用于许多不同领域的庞大铜(I)衍生物家族打开了大门。本综述重点关注2020年至2025年年中开发的具有氮供体配体的发光中性零维单核、双核、三核和四核铜(I)配合物。在进行总体概述之后,特定部分专门介绍了每个核数的成员。重点关注化合物的刺激响应性,特别是对蒸汽暴露以及热和机械扰动的响应性。
