Table 6.1 Solid-state luminescence of dinuclear gold-sulfur complexes.

A series of dinuclear gold(I) thiolate complexes with crown ether pendants has been successfrdly employed to switch on and off the Au-Au interactions (shown in equation (8)), and, hence, the photoemission induced by ion-binding, which provides a new strategy for the design of chemosensors and luminescence signaling. ...
