Synthesis, structure, and luminescent property of one mixed-valence Cu–halide complex constructed from pyridine-3-carboxylate

In this article, a Cu(I)-halide complex [Cu(II)3Cu(I)4(NA)6Br4]n (complex 1) (NA = pyridine-3-carboxylate) has been synthesized under hydrothermal reaction conditions. Complex 1 is a two-dimensional layer structure composed by trinuclear Cu(II) unit and tetranuclear Cu(I) unit connected by NA ligands. Complex 1 exhibits strong luminescent property at room temperature.
