Abstract
1,3-Dimethyluracil (DMU) forms a complex with copper(I) iodide which shows a green luminescence at lambda(max) = 505 nm. With PF6- counterions a photo active Cu(I)DMU complex is generated which shows a long-wavelength absorpti on at lambda(max) = 335 nm. Light absorption by this band leads to a dimeri zation of DMU to its cyclobutane dimer.
