Sustainable and Efficient Low‐Energy Light Emitters: A Series of One‐Dimensional d10 Coinage Metal–Organic Chalcogenolates, [M(o‐SPhCO2H)]n.

A series of d10 coinage metal thiosalicylate coordination polymers (CPs) is reported. The 1D structures of the three CPs are formed by M3S3 fused hexagons for Cu and Ag compounds and interpenetrated helical chains for Au CP. Depending on the metal, solid‐state red and NIR emissive CPs are obtained with quantum yields up to 50 %, providing a great opportunity to replace the actual emissive critical raw materials.
