A copper iodide complex coordinated by three phosphine ligands with the formula [Cu 2 I 2 (Ph 2 PC 2 (C 6 H 4 )C 2 PPh 2 ) 3 ] exhibits solvatochromic and vapochromic luminescence properties. A mechanism based on solvent‐dependent molecular motion appears to occur. The highly contrasted response observed upon THF solvent exposure makes this complex an appealing candidate for chemical sensor applications.
