Abstract

Electronic structures and the energy level diagrams of dinuclear copper halide complexes exhibiting luminescence ranging from blue to red have been calculated by means of a discrete variational (DV)-Xα molecular orbital method. We confirmed that the wavelength of the experimental luminescence could be reproduced by comparing the electronic states of the ground state in relation to the luminescence caused by electron transfer between the excited and the ground states. The observed luminescence wavelength is related to the excitation energy from the occupied copper 3d to the unoccupied ligand molecular orbitals. This relationship can also be reproduced in the cases of other related metal complexes.
