TL;DR: In this paper, the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and its importance for radiative as well as nonradiative transitions between the lowest triplet state and the electronic ground state is discussed.

TL;DR: A new class of brightly luminescent low-cost Cu(I) compounds, for which the emission stems from both the lowest excited triplet T1 and singlet S1 state, and the overall emission decay time is distinctly reduced.

TL;DR: Investigations show further that the emission properties of Ir(ppy)(3) depend distinctly on the complex's environment or the matrix cage according to distinct changes of spin-orbit coupling effectiveness and have consequences for optimizations of the material's properties if applied as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) emitter.

TL;DR: A series of highly luminescent dinuclear copper(I) complexes has been synthesized in good yields using a modular ligand system of easily accessible diphenylphosphinopyridine-type P^N ligands, revealing a dinuclear complex structure with a butterfly-shaped metal-halide core.

TL;DR: The new Pt(II) pincer complexes display very high luminescence quantum yields at decay times of several tens of μs even in solution under ambient conditions, and might also become attractive as emitter materials for diverse optoelectronic applications.
