Abstract

Here a structural design aimed at the control of phosphorescence emission as the result of changes in molecular rotation in a crystalline material is presented. The proposed strategy includes the use of aurophilic interactions, both as a crystal engineering tool and as a sensitive emission probe, and the use of a dumbbell-shaped architecture intended to create a low packing density region that permits the rotation of a central phenylene.
