Glossary L = 6-(diphenylphosphino)-2,2’-bipyridine dppm = (bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) dppa = (bis(diphenylphosphino)amine) Labelling of the compounds which geometry was optimized at different state (ground state, excited states): 1 = [Cu2(L)2dppm]2+ 2 = [Cu2(L)2dppa]2+ 3 = [Cu2(L)2OTf]+ 4 = [Ag2(L)2OTf]+ Computational method : Geometry optimizations of the ground state (S0) and the first excited states - first singlet excited state S1, second singlet excited state S2, first triplet excited state T1, second singlet excited state T2 - of the compounds 1-4 were performed using the quantum chemical program ORCA 6.1 at Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA-DFT) levels, respectively.s1-s5 The calculations employed the PBE0 hybrid functional,s6 ZORA-def2-TZVP all-electron basis set,s7 auxiliary basis set SARC/J, explicit relativistic treatment of the core electrons ZORA, and D3BJ dispersion corrections8 for both ground and excited-state optimizations. For the sake of comparison, in addition to the geometry optimization performed at 0 K in vacuum (VAC), the conductor-like polarizable continuum was used to implicitly take into account the solvent, dichloromethane.s9 For those calculations, the indication “DCM” is stipulated. The applied criterium of convergence of energy was 1·10−6 u.a. Harmonic vibrational frequency calculations were computed to ensure that the optimized structures are (local) minima of the potential energy surface. The X-Ray structural arrangements were used as starting geometries for the ground state geometry optimizations. The excited states TDA-DFT geometry optimizations were performed using the optimized ground state geometries as starting geometries. compound-label: 1, 2, 3 and 4 State: S0, S1, S2, T1, T2 (s1) Neese, F.
