Luminescence of Supramolecular Cold-Containing Materials

Of all these, the only permitted electronic transition is1 Do 1S0, while the rest are forbidden according to the spin rule, leading to phosphorescent emissions. However, these are precisely the ones responsible for the emissions found in many luminescent gold complexes, appearing in a range between 500 and 700 nm (665 nm in the gaseous ion).
