Synthesis and luminescence of poly(phenylacetylene)s with pendant iridium complexes and carbazole groups

Poly(phenylacetylene)s containing pendant phosphorescent iridium complexes have been synthesized and their electrochemical, photo‐ and electroluminescent properties studied. The polymers have been synthesized by rhodium‐catalyzed copolymerization of 9‐(4‐ethynylphenyl)carbazole (CzPA) and phenylacetylenes (C∧N)₂Ir(κ²‐O,O′‐MeC(O)CHC(O)C₆H₄C?CH‐4) (C∧N = κ²‐N,C¹‐2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)phenyl (Ir^ppyPA) or κ²‐N,C¹‐2‐(isoquinolin‐1‐yl)phenyl (Ir^piqPA)). In addition, organic poly(phenylacetylene)s with pendant carbazole groups have been synthesized by rhodium‐catalyzed copolymerization of CzPA and 1‐ethynyl‐4‐pentylbenzene. Complex (C∧N)₂Ir(κ²‐O,O′‐MeC(O)CHC(O)Ph) (Ir^piqPh; C∧N = 2‐(isoquinolin‐1‐yl)phenyl‐κ²‐N,C¹) was prepared and characterized. While the copolymers of the Ir^ppy series were weakly phosphorescent, those of the Ir^piq series displayed at room temperature intense emissions from the carbazole (fluorescence) and iridium (phosphorescence) emitters, being the latter dominant when the spectra were recorded using polymer films. Triple layer OLED devices employing copolymers of the Ir^piq series or the model complex Ir^piqPh yielded electroluminescence with an emission spectra originating from the iridium complex and maximum external quantum efficiencies of 0.46% and 2.99%, respectively. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Di(benzothiazol-2-yl)phosphanide as a Janus-head ligand to caesium

Starting from tris(benzothiazol-2-yl)phosphane (1) an advanced Janus-head ligand, di(benzothiazol-2-yl)phosphane (2), was synthesised and structurally characterised. The heteroaryl substituents of this ligand provide both hard and soft donor sites. Surprisingly, the phosphorus atom in 2 is divalent and the hydrogen atom is directly bonded to one ring nitrogen atom and hydrogen bonded to the second. Compound 2 decomposes in any common solvent other than diethyl ether and a new preparation to improve the yields of 2 is presented. A coordination polymer, [{Cs(bth)(2)P}8] (3) (bth=benzothiazol-2-yl), was obtained when the sec-phosphane 2 was allowed to react with elemental caesium in a 1:1 ratio in diethyl ether at -78 degrees C. In 3 each anion is coordinated to four caesium cations and vice versa. The central phosphorus atom is coordinated to two metal atoms above and below the mean plane of the anion in positions in which the two lone pairs of a four-electron donor are anticipated. Two additional cations micro-bridge both ring nitrogen atoms. Hence both faces of the Janus-head ligand are coordinated to the same number of metal cations but in a different way.     

Cyclopalladated complexes based on 2-phenylbenzothiazole and 1,4-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzene with acetate ligands and ethylenediamine

Complexes [Pd(bt)En]ClO₄, [Pd(bt)(μ-OOCCH₃)]₂, [(PdEn)₂(μ-dbt)](CH₃COO)₂, and [Pd₂(μ-dbt)· (μ-OOCCH₃)₂]₂ (bt⁻ and dbt²⁻ are the mono- and bisdeprotonated forms of 2-phenylbenzothiazole and 1,4-bis-(benzthiazol-2-yl)benzene, En is ethylenediamine) are characterized by ¹H NMR, electron absorption spectroscopy, and voltammetry. The upfield shift of the signal of protons of heterocyclic ligands in complexes with acetate ligands is assigned to anisotropic effect of the ring current of the two fragments {Pd(bt)} and {Pd(dbt)} in the complexes. The red shift of the optical transition of the metal-ligand charge transfer as well as the anodic shift of the ligand-centered reduction of [(PdEn)₂(μ-dbt)](CH₃COO)₂ relative to [Pd(bt)En]ClO₄ is due to the decrease in the LUMO energy of the complexes. The cathodic shift of the oxidation potential and the long wavelength absorption in complexes with acetate ligands is assigned to variation in the HOMO nature due to the metal-metal bond formation.     

Synthesis and reactions of 4-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2,6-dimethylpyrylium perchlorate

A new method has been developed for the synthesis of 4-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-2,6-dimethylpyrylium perchlorate from 2,6-dimethyl--pyrone and 2-lithiobenzothiazole. The reaction of this salt with ammonia and with primary and secondary amines, hydrazine, phenylhydrazine. and hydroxylamine leads to the formation of difficultly accessible hetaryl-substituted benzothiazoles.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1016–1019, August, 1973.

Synthesis, structural characterization, and ligand replacement reactions of gem-dithiolato-bridged rhodium and iridium complexes

The reaction of gem-dithiol compounds R 2C(SH) 2 (R = Bn (benzyl), (i) Pr; R 2 = -(CH 2) 4-) with dinuclear rhodium or iridium complexes containing basic ligands such as [M(mu-OH)(cod)] 2 and [M(mu-OMe)(cod)] 2, or the mononuclear [M(acac)(cod)] (M = Rh, Ir, cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of a external base, afforded the dinuclear complexes [M 2(mu-S 2CR 2)(cod) 2] ( 1- 4). The monodeprotonation of 1,1-dimercaptocyclopentane gave the mononuclear complex [Rh(HS 2Cptn)(cod)] ( 5) that is a precursor for the dinuclear compound [Rh 2(mu-S 2Cptn)(cod) 2] ( 6). Carbonylation of the diolefin compounds gave the complexes [Rh 2(mu-S 2CR 2)(CO) 4] ( 7- 9), which reacted with P-donor ligands to stereoselectively produce the trans isomer of the disubstituted complexes [Rh 2(mu-S 2CR 2)(CO) 2(PR' 3) 2] (R' = Ph, Cy (cyclohexyl)) ( 10- 13) and [Rh 2(mu-S 2CBn 2)(CO) 2{P(OR') 3} 2] (R' = Me, Ph) ( 14- 15). The substitution process in [Rh 2(mu-S 2CBn 2)(CO) 4] ( 7) by P(OMe) 3 has been studied by spectroscopic means and the full series of substituted complexes [Rh 2(mu-S 2CBn 2)(CO) 4- n {P(OR) 3} n ] ( n = 1, 4) has been identified in solution. The cis complex [Rh 2(mu-S 2CBn 2)(CO) 2(mu-dppb)] ( 16) was obtained by reaction of 7 with the diphosphine dppb (1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane). The molecular structures of the diolefinic dinuclear complexes [Rh 2(mu-S 2CR 2)(cod) 2] (R = Bn ( 1), (i) Pr ( 2); R 2 = -(CH 2) 4- ( 6)) and that of the cis complex 16 have been studied by X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and optical properties of white phosphorescent carbazole - iridium copolymers

A series of novel carbazole-iridium copolymers have been designed and synthesized by the combination of blue-emitting acrylate carbazole M1 with hole transporting property and yellow-emitting cyclometalated iridium complex M2 containing 2-phenylpyridine as main ligand and acrylic acid as auxiliary ligand. The results showed that the blue carbazole host resulted in an efficient energy transfer to the yellow iridium complex guest, and when the feed molar ratio of M1 to M2 was 99:1, the emission spectrum of the copolymer presented a broad peak emission which can cover the whole visible range from 400 to 700 nm to obtain a nearly white copolymer material with the CIE coordinates of (0.30, 0.31), as a consequence of polymerized units luminescence, host-guest energy transfer and conjugation degree. Nevertheless, the host-guest energy transfer resulted in green emission about 524 nm of copolymer as the proportion of iridium complex monomer increased. The fluorescence quantum yields of the copolymers were significantly improved compared to the iridium complex monomer.     

Synthesis and reactivity of 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-bromo-1,2-ethanedione-1-arylhydrazones

The novel, highly versatile 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-bromo-1,2-ethanedione-1-arylhydrazones 3 were prepared and their behavior toward some nucleophiles was investigated. Thus, reaction of 3 with the sodium salt of malononitrile afforded the aminopyrazolecarbonitriles 5 that undergo cyclocondensation with hydrazine, formic acid, and formamide to give the corresponding pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazine 6, pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidinone 7, and pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 8 derivatives, respectively. Similarly, reactions of 3 with each of acetylacetone, dibenzoylmethane, and benzoylacetonitrile afforded the corresponding pyrazole derivatives 9, 10, and 11, respectively. The latter products undergo cyclocondensation with hydrazine to afford the corresponding pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyridazines 12, 13, and 14, respectively. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Synthesis, crystal, molecular and electronic structures of ruthenium complexes with a benzoxazole derivative ligand

[RuCl₂(HBO)(PPh₃)₂] and [RuCl(CO)(HBO)(PPh₃)₂] complexes with the 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole (C₁₃H₉NO₂) ligand were synthesized and characterized by infra red, proton and phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonances, electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies and X-ray crystallography. The experimental studies were completed by theoretical calculations. The calculations show that the donor properties of the carbonyl group predominates the π-acceptor ability in the ruthenium(II) complex. The small transfer of electron density to the acceptor π^∗ carbonyl orbitals is compensated by the presence of the chloride acceptor ligand. The electronic structures of these complexes, presented in particular by density of states diagrams, have been correlated with their ability to fluorescence and have been used to analyze the UV-Vis spectra.

Heteroleptic cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes ( Ir1 – Ir5 ) featuring piz-based ligands and acetylacetone ancillary ligand are synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties were studied, and DFT calculations were used to further support the experiment results. All the complexes emit yellow color with quantum yields of 12.2–56.5% in dichloromethane solution at room temperature, and the emission originates from a hybrid ³MLCT/³ILCT/³LLCT excited state.

Anticancer activity of new organo-ruthenium, rhodium and iridium complexes containing the 2-(pyridine-2-yl)thiazole N,N-chelating ligand

The dinuclear dichloro complexes [(η⁶-arene)₂Ru₂(μ-Cl)₂Cl₂] and [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂M₂(μ-Cl)₂Cl₂] react with 2-(pyridine-2-yl)thiazole (pyTz) to afford the cationic complexes [(η⁶-arene)Ru(pyTz)Cl]⁺ (arene = C₆H₆1, p-ⁱPrC₆H₄Me 2 or C₆Me₆3) and [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)M(pyTz)Cl]⁺ (M = Rh 4 or Ir 5), isolated as the chloride salts. The reaction of 2 and 3 with SnCl₂ leads to the dinuclear heterometallic trichlorostannyl derivatives [(η⁶-p-ⁱPrC₆H₄Me)Ru(pyTz)(SnCl₃)]⁺ (6) and [(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(pyTz)(SnCl₃)]⁺ (7), respectively, also isolated as the chloride salts. The molecular structures of 4, 5 and 7 have been established by single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of the corresponding hexafluorophosphate salts. The in vitro anticancer activities of the metal complexes on human ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and A2780cisR (cisplatin-resistant), as well as their interactions with plasmid DNA and the model protein ubiquitin, have been investigated.

Synthesis and characterization of phosphorescent cyclometalated iridium complexes

The preparation, photophysics, and solid state structures of octahedral organometallic Ir complexes with several different cyclometalated ligands are reported. IrCl3.nH2O cleanly cyclometalates a number of different compounds (i.e., 2-phenylpyridine, 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine, benzoquinoline, 2-phenylbenzothiazole, 2-(1-naphthyl)benzothiazole, and 2-phenylquinoline), forming the corresponding chloride-bridged dimers, CwedgeN2Ir(mu-Cl)2IrCwedgeN2 (CwedgeNis a cyclometalated ligand) in good yield. These chloride-bridged dimers react with acetyl acetone (acacH) and other bidentate, monoanionic ligands such as picolinic acid (picH) and N-methylsalicylimine (salH), to give monomeric CwedgeN2Ir(LX) complexes (LX = acac, pic, sal). The emission spectra of these complexes are largely governed by the nature of the cyclometalating ligand, leading to lambda(max) values from 510 to 606 nm for the complexes reported here. The strong spin-orbit coupling of iridium mixes the formally forbidden 3MLCT and 3pi-pi* transitions with the allowed 1MLCT, leading to a strong phosphorescence with good quantum efficiencies (0.1-0.4) and room temperature lifetimes in the microsecond regime. The emission spectra of the CwedgeN2Ir(LX) complexes are surprisingly similar to the fac-IrCwedgeN3 complex of the same ligand, even though the structures of the two complexes are markedly different. The crystal structures of two of the CwedgeN2Ir(acac) complexes (i.e., CwedgeN = ppy and tpy) have been determined. Both complexes show cis-C,C', trans-N,N' disposition of the two cyclometalated ligands, similar to the structures reported for other complexes with a "CwedgeN2Ir" fragment. NMR data (1H and 13C) support a similar structure for all of the CwedgeN2Ir(LX) complexes. Close intermolecular contacts in both (ppy)2Ir(acac) and (tpy)2Ir(acac) lead to significantly red shifted emission spectra for crystalline samples of the ppy and tpy complexes relative to their solution spectra.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of mononuclear iridium (III) acetylacetonate complexes bearing an axial bipyridine ligand

Three new iridium (III) acetylacetonate complexes with an axial bipyridine ligand were synthesised via the direct reaction of [bis(acac-O,O′)(acac-C³)Ir(H₂O)] and the corresponding bipyridine, and their molecular structures were determined by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The bipyridine used was di-2-pyridylketone, 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′-bipyridylamine, respectively. The results revealed that only mononuclear iridium complexes were obtained, although bipyridine has two N coordinate atoms, probably due to the great steric hindrance existing around the coordinate sphere if two bis(acac-O,O′)(acac-C³)Ir units were bridged by bipyridine. All these complexes are coordinated in one axial direction by bipyridine as a mono-dentate ligand in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of metal complexes based on 2,6-bis(6-methylquinolin-2-yl)pyridine ligand

Two mononuclear five-coordinated transition metal complexes FeLCl₂ (I) and MnLCl₂ (II) containing tridentate 2,6-bis(6-methylquinolin-2-yl)pyridine ligand (L) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. In the complexes, the metal center was tridentately chelated by ligand and further coordinated by two chlorine atoms, resulting in distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry for complex I and II, respectively. In addition, crystal packing in complex is stabilized by C-H?Cl intermolecular hydrogen bond, which link the mononuclear complex to the 1D chain.     

Synthesis of paramagnetic tetranuclear rhodium and iridium complexes with the 2,6-pyridinedithiolate ligand. Redox-induced degradation to diamagnetic triiridium compounds

The tetranuclear complexes [M4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4] [PyS2 = 2,6-pyridinedithiolate; M = Rh, diolefin = cod (1,5-cyclooctadiene) (1), tfbb (tetrafluorobenzo[5,6]bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5,7-triene) (2); M = Ir, diolefin = cod (3), tfbb (4)] exhibit two one-electron oxidations at a platinum disk electrode in dichloromethane at potentials accessible by chemical reagents. The rhodium tetranuclear complexes were selectively oxidized to the monocationic complexes [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4](+) (1(+), 2(+)) by mild one-electron oxidants such as [Cp2Fe](+) or [N(C6H4Br-4)3](+) and isolated as the PF6(-), BF4(-), and ClO4(-) salts. Silver salts behave as noninnocent one-electron oxidants for the reactions with the rhodium complexes 1 and 2 since they give sparingly soluble coordination polymers. The complex [Ir4(mu-PyS2)2(cod)4](+) (3(+)) was obtained as the tetrafluoroborate salt by reaction of 3 with 1 molar equiv of AgBF4, but the related complex 4(+) could not be isolated from the chemical oxidation of [Ir4(mu-PyS2)2(tfbb)4] (4) with AgBF4. Oxidation of 3 and 4 with 2 molar equiv of common silver salts resulted in the fragmentation of the complexes to give the diamagnetic triiridium cations [Ir3(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)3](+). The molecular structure of [Ir3(mu-PyS2)2(cod)3]BF4, determined by X-ray diffraction methods, showed the three metal atoms within an angular arrangement. Both 2,6-pyridinedithiolate tridentate ligands bridge two metal-metal bonded d(7) centers in pseudo octahedral environments and one d(8) square-planar iridium center. An interpretation of the EPR spectra of the 63-electron mixed-valence paramagnetic tetranuclear complexes suggests that the unpaired electron is delocalized over two of the metal atoms in the complexes 1(+)-3(+).     

Photochromic dihetarylethenes. 10. Photochromic 1,2-bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]- and 1,2-bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzothiophen-3-yl]ethenes

Dithienylethenes containing the thiophene rings with benzothiazolyl substituents in position 2 were synthesized. 1,2-Bis[2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)benzothiophen-3-yl]hexafluorocyclopentene and 1,2-bis[2,5-di(benzothiazol-2-yl)-3-thienyl]hexafluorocyclopentene possess photochromic properties. The open forms of 1,2-bis(2-benzothiazolylhetaryl)ethenes fluoresce, but introduction of the benzothiazole rings into dihetarylethenes significantly lowers the fatigue resistance of photochromes and favors thermal reversibility.
