on heavy but rare 4d and 5d elements such as Ru II , Os II , Ir III and Pt II . However, in these d 6 and d 8 complexes, low-energy metal-centered (MC) d-d* states can lead to very fast, non-radiative decay [...] y common for Cu(I) compounds (Fig. 1). A further advantage of d10 transition metal complexes over d6 octahedral or square-planar d8 compounds is their flexible coordination geometry (linear, trigonal, …
