Cover Story: The luminescence of gold thiolate clusters brings about many potential applications, but its origin is still elusive because of its complexity. A strategy in understanding the structure–properties relationship is to study the closely related neutral gold thiolate coordination polymers (CPs). Here, a new CP is reported, [Au(m-SPhCO2H)]n. Its structure is lamellar with an inorganic layer made of Au–S–Au–S helical chains, separated by non-interpenetrated organic layers. It is a bright yellow phosphorescent emitter with a band at 615 nm and a quantum yield of 19 % at room temperature and in a solid state. In addition, crystallites of this CP were mixed with organic polymers to generate transparent and flexible luminescent thin films. The ability to tune the emission position with the appropriate contents makes these nontoxic polymer composites promising materials for lighting devices. View this paper.
