Abstract

A luminescent silver(I) complex containing a luminescent radical ligand was prepared for the first time. Coordination to AgI enhanced and red-shifted the radical-centered emission. This study demonstrates similar effects in the luminescence of the radical by complexation with group 11 d10-metal ions.
