Studies of the Intramolecular Aromatic-ring Stacking Interactions in the Ternary Platinum（Ⅱ） Complexes

The stability constants of some ternary mixed-ligand complexes, Pt (Phen)(CA) , where Phen-1,10-phenanthroline and CA^-=carboxylate, were determined by means of potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solutions (I=0. 1mol/L, KNO3; 25℃), and the stability of them was compared with that of the corresponding binary complexes. It was revealed that the ternary complexes containing phenylalkane carboxylates ligands (PCA-) are much more stable than those formed with formate and acetate. The results indicate that there exist the intramolecular aromatic-ring interactions between the phenanthroline ring of Phen and the phenyl moiety of ligand PCA- in the ternary mixed-ligand Pt(Phen) (PCA)^- complexes. The extent of the stacking interactions, which depends on the number of methylene groups between the phenyl moieties and the coordinated phenylalkane carboxylate groups, was calculated. The best-fitted stack was obtained for the complexes with 2-phenylacetate and 3-phenylpropionate as the ligands.

Synthesis of New Ruthenium（Ⅱ）Bipyridyl Complexes and Studies on Their Photophysical and Photoelectrochemical Properties

Two new mixed-ligand ruthenium(Ⅱ） complexes,Ru(dcbpy)-(LL)NCS)2[where dcbpy=4,4‘-dicarboxyl-2,2‘‘-bipyridine,LL=4,4‘-bis(N-methyl-anilinomethyl)-2,2‘‘-bipyridine(2)],were synthesized,and the tphotophysical properties of these complexes were studied.The metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) transitions of these complexes exhibited solvatochromic effect due to the existence of NCS ligands.The MLCT energies also strongly depend on the pH values of the solutions because of protonation and deprotonation of the carboxyl groups.The pKa values of the ground state,4.0 for 1 and 3.8 for 2,were obtained from the titration curves.The photoelectrochemical properties of 1 and 2 as sensitizers in sandwich-type solar cells have been studied.Complex 1 exhibited better photoelectrochemical behavior than complex 2 as expected.It was proved that the design of mixed-ligand complex by introducing electron donating group in one of the ligands should be a promising approach.     

Theoretical Study on the Inclusion Complex of β-Cyclodextrin and Nitrobenzene

Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to investigate the structures and properties for the inclusion complexes of nitrobenzene (NB) into β-cyclodextrin. Two low-energy conformations of β-cyclodextrin (A and B) in the gas phase were initially investigated by the PM3 and B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) calculations, respectively. Three different orientations were considered in the inclusion process of A and B with NB to form 1:1 complexes. Potential energy scan by PM3 calculations indicated that the phenyl orientation Ab for conformation A and the equator orientation Bc for conformation B are more favorable in energy, respectively. We also considered the 2:1 inclusion complexes of host A or B with guest NB in the gas phase. PM3 calculation indicated that the host-guest interaction energies to form 1:1 complexes are more negative than those to form 2:1 NB/B complexes. Finally, we studied the solvent effect of NB/CD complex, and PM3 results show that the influence of water molecules on the inclusion process is very important. The driving forces for the inclusion process and the geometries of complexes were discussed in detail.
