Front Cover: A Novel Family of Luminescent Pyrenyl‐(N‐Heterocyclic Carbene)‐ Halogenated Coinage Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Optical Properties (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 27/2024).

The article titled "A Novel Family of Luminescent Pyrenyl-(N-Heterocyclic Carbene)-Halogenated Coinage Metal Complexes: Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Optical Properties" discusses the synthesis and characterization of a new family of stable pyrenyl-(NHC)MCl coinage metal complexes. These complexes, which include copper, silver, and gold, were obtained in high yields and their molecular structures were determined through X-ray diffraction studies. The complexes exhibit emissive properties in the blue region, similar to the natural blue light produced by phytoplankton on the ocean's surface at nightfall. The article provides further details on this research. [Extracted from the article]
