A 1-D chain complex [Cu(NIT4Py)(IDA)]_∞ (NIT4Py = 2-(4′-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide and IDA = iminodiacetate) has been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, TGA, and magnetic analysis. Each Cu(II) is five-coordinate with distorted square pyramidal geometry. Each IDA bridges two Cu(II) ions via one carboxylate which occupies the axial site of Cu(II), leading to a chain structure composed of Cu(II)-radical cations and IDA anions. In the complex, there exist three magnetic exchange pathways, (i) interaction between units of (Cu(II)-NIT4Py) through IDA, (ii) Cu(II)-NIT4Py interaction, and (iii) NIT4Py-NIT4Py interaction through space. Compared with the first two magnetic interactions, the last magnetic exchange interaction should be too weak to be counted because of the large distance of the neighboring NIT4Py molecules (4.993 Å). Analysis of the magnetic properties was performed using the Bleany–Bowers (dimer) model, showing that the complex exhibited both weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(II) and NIT4Py, and between the units of (Cu(II)-NIT4Py) through IDA with exchange coupling parameters J = ?7.28 cm^?1 and zJ′ = ?0.40 cm^?1.

Synthesis, structure and photophysical properties of a flavin-based platinum(II) complex

We synthesized a thiosemicarbazone-functionalized flavin (Fl-(H)TSC: 2-[2-(3,4-dihydro-7,8-dimethyl-2,4-dioxobenzo[g]pteridin-10(2H)-yl)ethylidene]-hydrazinecarbothioamide) and its Pt(II) complex [Pt(Fl-TSC)(2)], and characterized it using X-ray diffraction, UV-visible absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. X-ray structural analysis for [Pt(Fl-TSC)(2)] revealed that the structure of the isoalloxazine part was almost the same as that in lumiflavin (7,8,10-trimethylisoalloxazine), and the thiosemicarbazone moiety acted as a bidentate ligand to form a PtS(2)N(2) planar conformation. UV-visible absorption and luminescence spectra of these compounds were very similar to those of riboflavin, but the emission intensity and the lifetime decreased considerably. Theoretical calculations suggested that the charge-separated state (Fl˙(-)-TSC˙(+)) contributed to the faster quenching from the (1)π-π* emission state.
