✦ Synopsis

The electronic-absorption and -emission spectroscopy and photophysical properties of metal-alkylidyne (-carbyne) complexes are reviewed. Emission has been observed in fluid solution at room temperature from compounds of a variety of different metals (Mo, W, Re, Os) and electron configurations (d 0 , d 1 , d 2 ). The emissive excited states are of the types d xy → * , → * , → d xy , and MLCT. This compositional and electronic diversity enables the luminescence properties of metal-alkylidyne complexes to be broadly tuned.
