Long‐living complexes : A Cu I ‐ bisphenanthroline complex exhibits a 15‐fold prolongation of its excited state lifetime due to the planned intervention of an appended anthracene fragment (see picture). This elegant example of electronic excited‐state engineering extends the range of possibilities for improving the photophysical properties of Cu I complexes.
