Abstract
Herein, we report on the synthesis and structural characterization of a series of trigonal and tetrahedral cationic copper(I) complexes, bearing phosphine or N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as donors, with benzthiazol-2-pyridine (pybt) and benzthiazol-2-quinoline (qybt) acting as ?-chromophores. The compounds are highly colored due to their 1MLCT (MLCT = metal-to-ligand charge transfer) states absorbing between ca. ?abs = 400
