(Figure Presented) Long-living complexes: A Cu1- bisphenanthroline complex exhibits a 15-fold prolongation of its excited state lifetime due to the planned intervention of an appended anthracene fragment (see picture). This elegant example of electronic excited-state engineering extends the range of possibilities for improving the photophysical properties of Cu 1 complexes. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
