Abstract

Neutral halogenido copper(I) units {CunXn} are widely found in the luminescent copper(I) complexes. In this review, we describe the luminescent properties of complexes with the halogenido-bridged dimeric core, {Cu2(μ-X)2}, which is one of the basic structural motifs of {CunXn}, as well as their synthetic methods and structural features. The available emissive excited states and their approximate energies are discussed by comparing the emission energies among the complexes with different ligand combinations. The trend of the quantum yields in the {Cu2X2} complexes will also be discussed.
