“Aurophilicity in Action: Fine-Tuning the Gold(I)–Gold(I) Distance in the Excited State To Modulate the Emission in a Series of Dinuclear Homoleptic Gold(I)–NHC Complexes”

The formation of exciplexes between cationic dinuclear Au(I) bis(carbene) complexes and bromide ions was found to decrease the Au−Au distance in the triplet excited state, leading to pronounced changes in emission. The stimuli-responsive nature of the intracationic aurophilic interaction paves the way for fine-tuning the emission energy and opens new possibilities for practical applications.
