Abstract
A series of four-coordinate zinc(II) complexes is presented in which the amido vs. imino character of a ligated nitrogen donor correlates to the luminescence intensity. DFT analysis points to a distinct mechanism for this trend wherein emission can be switched on by restricting non-radiative decay pathways through the resonance-induced delocalization of amido ligand lone-pairs.
