We report the controlled preparation of kinetically and thermodynamically luminescent multinuclear cuprous coordination complexes. On reaction of the bidentate P/N-ligand (2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine, abbreviated as dppy) and copper(I) with a similar stoichiometry but in different concentration conditions at ambient temperature, hexagonal crystals of [Cu-2(mu-dppy)(3)Cl]PF6 center dot CH2Cl2 (1) or polyhedron crystals of [Cu-4(mu-dppy)(6)Cl](PF6)(3) (2) were formed as kinetic or thermodynamic products, respectively. Investigation of the structures, morphologies, theoretical calculation, and ...
