<strong>Photochemistry</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Photophysics</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Coordination</strong> <strong>Compounds</strong>: Copper 91<br />

Fig. 21 Temperature dependence <strong>of</strong> the luminescence spectra <strong>of</strong> [Cu(7)2] + (top) <strong>and</strong><br />

[Cu(8)2] + (bottom) in CH2Cl2 MeOH 1:1 (v/v). In the fluid domain (up to 170 K) emission<br />

intensity decrease <strong>and</strong> spectral red-shifting is observed by lowering temperature in<br />

both cases. By contrast when the solvent matrix becomes rigid (around 120 K), the two<br />

compounds behave differently. For the 2,9-dialkylphenanthroline complex (bottom panel)<br />

a complete reversal <strong>of</strong> the previous trend is observed with intensity recovery <strong>and</strong> blue<br />

shift. At 96 K a very strong luminescence b<strong>and</strong> is recorded
