Gray group publishes new study of triplet excited states in gold(I) alkynyls

In AFOSR-funded research, graduate student J. J. Mihaly, in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Purdue University, has completed an extensive study of the synthesis and photophysics of triplet-photoactive gold(I) alkynyls, with comparisons to the corresponding gold(I) aryls.  Ultrafast spectroscopic studies reveal efficient intersystem crossing and high...
