Multimetallic coinage metal complexes, featuring intricate metallophilic (M-M) interaction that govern photophysical properties such as bright luminescence and redox reactivity, are a prominent topic in functional material research [1,2]. Here, using quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry, in situ synthesized homo- and heterobinuclear d10-d10 metal complexes of type [MM’(dcpm)2]2+ (M, M’ = CuI, AgI, AuI; dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane) were investigated in gas-phase via collisional-induced dissociation (CID) and ultraviolet photodissociation (UV PD) spectroscopy using femto- and nanosecond laser sources [3]. The resulting photodissociation spectra show a spectral blue shift of the lower energy metal-centered (MC) states in the order of Cu2 < CuAu < CuAg < Au2 < AgAu < Ag2. These spectra were supported by quantum chemical calculations of GW-Bethe-Salpeter-equation (GW-BSE) approach, revealing a shortening of metal-metal binding upon excitation assigned to 1MC(dσ*-pσ / dσ*-pπ) transitions.
