For investigation of structure-property relationships in copper phosphine halide complexes, treatment of copper(I) halides with chiral bis(phosphines) gave dinuclear [Cu((R,R)-i-Pr-DuPhos)(mu-X)](2) [X = I (1), Br (2), Cl (3)], [Cu(mu-((R,R)-Me-FerroLANE)(mu-I)](2) (5), and [Cu((S,S)-Et-FerroTANE)(I)](2) (6), pentanuclear cluster Cu5I5((S,S)-Et-FerroTANE)(3) (7), and the monomeric Josiphos complexes Cu((R,S)CyPF-t-Bu)(I) (8) and Cu((R,S)-PPF-t-Bu)(I) (9); 1-3, 5, and 7-9 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Treatment of iodide 1 with AgF gave [Cu((R,R)-i-Pr-DuPhos)(mu-F)](2) (4). DuPhos complexes 1-4 emitted yellow-green light upon UV irradiation at room temperature in the solid state. This process was studied by low-temperature emission spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which assigned the luminescence to (M + X)LCT (Cu2X2 to DuPhos aryl) excited states. Including Grimme's dispersion corrections in the DFT calculations (B3LYP-D3) gave significantly shorter Cu-Cu distances than those obtained using B3LYP, with the nondispersion-corrected calculations better matching the crystallographic data; other intramolecular metrics are better reproduced using B3LYP-D3. A discussion of the factors leading to this unusual observation is presented.
