The complex emits blue luminescence with the maximum peak at 457 nm with 3% quantum yield in solid state at room temperature. The Cu（I） centers are essentially electronically separated because both HOMO and LUMO contain very little contribution from the bridging ligand. The unexpected low emission is ascribed to the intramolecular interaction of the emissive centers.
