Metallophilic interactions in closed-shell d(10) metal-metal dicyanide bonded luminescent systems Eu[AgAu1-x(CN)(2)](3) and their tunability for excited state energy transfer
We report on the heterobimetallic system, Eu[AgxAu1-x(CN)(2)](3) (x = 0-1) in which sensitization of europium luminescence occurs by energy transfer from [AgxAu1-x(CN)(2)](-) donor excited states. The donor states have energies which are tunable and dependent on the Ag/Au stoichiometric ratio. These layered systems exhibit interesting properties, one of which is their emission energy tunability when excited at different excitation wavelengths. In this paper, we report on their use as donor systems with Eu(III) ions as acceptor ions in energy transfer studies. Luminescence results show that the mixed metal dicyanides with the higher silver donors. The better loading have a better energy transfer efficiency than the pure Ag(CN)(2)(-) and Au(CN)(2)(-) energy transfer efficiency is due to the greater overlap between the donor emission and acceptor excitation. Additionally, more acceptor states are available in the high silver loading mixed metal Eu(III) complexes. The results from a crystal structure determination and Raman experiments are also presented in this paper and provide information about metallophilic interactions in the closed-shell d(10) metal-metal [AgxAu1-x(CN2](-) dicyanide clusters.
