A two-co-ordinated gold(I) loop [Au(dpdo)]ClO4 [dpdo = 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,6-dioxaoctane] as a luminescence light switch for substrate binding reactions

Abstract
Reaction of [Au(tht)Cl] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) with dpdo [dpdo = 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,6-dioxaoctane] afforded [Au(dpdo)]+ 1 which was isolated as a perchlorate salt; binding of a phosphine moiety to 1 in solution triggered a strong photoluminescence.
