A novel luminescent copper(I) complex with formula [Cu(PPh 3 ) 2 (PIP)]BF 4 (PPh 3 = triphenyl phosphine, PIP = 2‐phenyl‐1 H ‐imidazo[4,5‐ f ][1,10]phenanthroline) has been synthesized and characterized by 1 H NMR, IR, elemental analysis and X‐ray crystal structure analysis. In solid state, it displays broad band emission upon excitation at λ = 420 nm with the emission maximum locates at 551 nm. Its excited‐state lifetime is in the microsecond time scale (3.02 µs); as a result, its emission intensity is sensitive to oxygen concentration and shows oxygen‐sensing properties after being encapsulated into mesoporous silica MCM‐41. For the system with 60 mg/g loading level, a sensitivity ( I 0 / I ) of 4.35, a fluorescence quenching time ( t Q ) of 5 s and a recovery time ( t R ) of 36 s were achieved. Even after aging for 5 months, the sensitivities of the three loading level systems can be retained, ignoring the measurement error, which indicates that they possess long‐term stability.
