Gold complexes have attracted interest because they show strong photoluminescence in condensed phases based on aurophilic interaction. Since the photoluminescence behavior of gold complexes depends on their aggregated structure, the behavior can be tuned by controlling the aggregated structure. Recently, we have developed rod-like gold complexes with liquid-crystalline property and succeeded in tuning their photoluminescence behavior by phase transition. In this work, we focused on unique properties of the fluorine atom and synthesized gold complexes with fluorine substituents to control the properties of gold complexes. We observed their liquid-crystalline and photoluminescence behavior, and discussed the relationship between the properties and aggregatedstructures.
