Synthesis and characterization of cyclometallated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with amide-thiolate ligands

The redox reaction of bis(2-benzamidophenyl) disulfide (H₂L-LH₂) with [Pd(PPh₃)₄] in a 1:1 ratio gave mononuclear and dinuclear palladium(II) complexes with 2-benzamidobenzenethiolate (H₂L⁻), [Pd(H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (1) and [Pd₂(H₂L-S)₂ (μ-H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (2). A similar reaction with [Pt(PPh₃)₄] produced only the corresponding mononuclear platinum(II) complex, [Pt(H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (3). Treatment of these complexes with KOH led to the formation of cyclometallated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes, [Pd(L-C,N,S)(PPh₃)]⁻ ([4]⁻) and [Pt(L-C,N,S) (PPh₃)]⁻ ([5]⁻). The molecular structures of 2, 3 and [4]⁻ were determined by X-ray crystallography.

The non-emissive platinum(II)-quaterpyridine complex shows strong photoluminescence at room temperature upon incorporation into Nafion membrane; this complex is stabilized toward photochemical decomposition in Nafion even in the presence of oxygen, and can be used as a sensitizer to generate singlet oxygen to oxidize alkenes.     

Synthesis and photoelectrochemical properties of cyclometallated ruthenium(II) complex

A new ruthenium complex, (4-carboxy-1,10-phenantroline-7-carboxylate)(4,7-dicarboxy-1,10-phenantroline)(2-phenylpyridino-²C,N) ruthenium(II), was obtained for the application as a sensitizer in photoelectrochemical converters (PECC). Electrochemical and spectral characteristics of the compound were studied. It was found that the illumination of PECC with AM 1.5 100 mW/cm² solar spectrum simulator provides short circuit current density of 3.9 mA cm^?2 and broken circuit voltage of 0.47 V. PECC efficiency is 1.4% at fillfactor 76%. The lifetimes of charge carriers (electrons) and their transit time determined by modulation spectroscopy were found to be 28 and 4 ms, respectively.

Blue-shifting the monomer and excimer phosphorescence of tridentate cyclometallated platinum(II) complexes for optimal white-light OLEDs

By using a tridentate N^C^N-coordinating ligand, the luminescence of a cyclometallated Pt(II) complex can be shifted into the blue region, without the problematic drop-off in quantum yield observed for bidentate analogues. The combination of blue-shifted monomer and excimer allows white-emitting OLEDs with high colour rendering index to be produced.     

Synthesis, reactivity and crystal structures of platinum (II) and platinum (IV) cyclometallated compounds derived from 2- and 4-biphenylimines

The reaction of [Pt₂Me₄(μ-SMe₂)₂] with ligands 4-C₆H₅C₆H₄CHNCH₂CH₂NMe₂ (1a) and 2-C₆H₅C₆H₄CHNCH₂CH₂NMe₂ (1b) carried out in acetone at room temperature produced compounds [PtMe₂{4-C₆H₅C₆H₄CHNCH₂CH₂NMe₂}] (2a) and [PtMe₂{2-C₆H₅C₆H₄CHNCH₂CH₂NMe₂}] (2b), respectively, in which the imines act as bidentate [N,N′] ligands. Cyclometallated [C,N,N′] compounds [PtMe{4-C₆H₅C₆H₃CHNCH₂CH₂NMe₂}] (3a) and [PtMe{2-C₆H₅C₆H₃CHNCH₂CH₂NMe₂}] (3b), were obtained by refluxing toluene solutions of compounds 2a or 2b. Reaction of [Pt₂Me₄(μ-SMe₂)₂] with ligands 4-C₆H₅C₆H₄CHNCH₂Ph (1c) and 2-C₆H₅C₆H₄CHNCH₂Ph (1d) produced compounds [PtMe{4-C₆H₅C₆H₃CHNCH₂Ph}SMe₂] (5c) and [PtMe{2-C₆H₅C₆H₃CHNCH₂Ph}SMe₂] (5d) containing a [C,N] ligand, from which triphenylphosphine derivatives 6c and 6d were also prepared. In all cases, metallation took place to yield five-membered endo-metallacycles and formation of seven-membered or of exo-metallacycles was not observed. The reactions of 3a, 3b, 6c and 6d with methyl iodide were studied in acetone and gave the corresponding cyclometallated platinum (IV) compounds. All compounds were characterised by NMR spectroscopy and compounds 3b, 4a, 6c and 6d were also characterised crystallographically.     

Solvatochromic response imposed by environmental changes in matrix/chromophore entities: luminescent cyclometalated platinum (II) complex in Nafion and silica materials

Luminescent cyclometalated complex [Pt(L)py]+ (1) immobilised in Nafion film exhibits a solvatochromic shift in emission maximum from 530 to 650 nm upon immersion in ethanol but no effect is detected with aprotic organic solvents, whereas the emission of the [Pt(L)]+ luminophore anchored in silica materials shows a blue shift from approximately 665 to 550 nm upon exposure to pentane vapour but no shift is observed for ethanol vapour.     

2,2'-Bipyridinyl carboranes as B,N,N-ligands in cyclometallated complexes of platinum(II)

Novel B,N,N-cyclometallated Pt(II) complexes of 2,2'-bipyridin-6-yl carboranes exhibit absorption and emission similar to relative Pt(II) complexes of aromatic C,N,N-ligands: the same transitions but lower intensities. DFT calculations suggest the former emits from the (3)MLCT state while for the latter the mixed (3)ICT-MLCT transitions should be considered.     

IRA-200 resin-supported platinum(II) complex for photooxidation of olefins

Cyclometalated platinum(II) 4,6-diphenyl-2,2′-bipyridine complex is supported on a commercially available cationic ion-exchange resin (amberlite IRA-200). Photophysical and ESR determinations indicate that the combined photosensitized system is able to generate singlet oxygen with high quantum yield upon irradiation of light in the visible region. The platinum(II) complex loaded on IRA-200 resin is stable and the photooxidation occurs in an environmentally friendly way. Only a simple filtration is needed to recycle the expensive metal catalyst.

Mesoporous materials incorporating a zinc(II) complex: Synthesis and direct luminescence quantum yield determination

New luminescent inorganic–organic hybrid materials incorporating the luminescent zinc(II) complex ZnL₂ (λ_em = 457 nm and Φ_em = 4.4% reference values for ZnL₂; HL = chelating ligand resulting from the reaction between salicylaldehyde and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane), covalently bonded to different types of mesoporous silica hosts (namely MCM-41, MCM-48 and SBA-15), were prepared via both the methods of grafting post-synthesis (GPS) and one-pot synthesis (OPS). The products obtained, which form the GPS [(GPS)(Zn/MCM-41), (GPS)(Zn/MCM-48), (GPS)(Zn/SBA-15)] and the OPS [(OPS)(Zn/MCM-41), (OPS)(Zn/MCM-48), (OPS)(Zn/SBA-15)] series, contain the ZnL₂ guest covalently bonded to the silica framework through silicon–oxygen bonds formed when the silane group is placed at the periphery of the Zn(II) coordination sphere. GPS and OPS materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, N₂ adsorption/desorption, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV/vis spectroscopy. For the new mesoporous materials the emission quantum yield (EQY) was measured by means of an integrating sphere combined with a spectrofluorimeter. The ZnL₂ loading (measured by the ZnL₂/SiO₂ ratio calculated from TGA data) for MCM-41 appears to be independent of the synthesis procedure, whereas, for both MCM-48 and SBA-15, the ZnL₂/SiO₂ ratio of the materials obtained via OPS is about four times higher than products obtained from GPS. The ZnL₂ loaded GPS and OPS series show λ_em maxima at about 485 and 455 nm, respectively. Moreover, with reference to EQY (GPS)(Zn/SBA-15) and (OPS)(Zn/SBA-15), although featuring ZnL₂/SiO₂ ratios of 0.13 and 0.45, respectively, they showed similar EQY values: 2% and 5%. On the contrary, (GPS)(Zn/MCM-41) and (OPS)(Zn/MCM-41) which give similar ZnL₂/SiO₂ ratios (0.09 and 0.14) exhibit very different EQY, i.e. 2% and 22%, respectively.

Synthesis and characterization of a platinum(II) complex with N-acetyl-L-cysteine

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies in the solid-state of a platinum(II) complex with N-acetyl-L-cysteine are described. Elemental analyses are consistent with composition Pt₂(C₅H₈NO₃S)₄ · 3H₂O. Solid-state ¹³C NMR, infrared, and U-Vis spectroscopic results are consistent with coordination of the ligand to platinum(II) through sulfur. Thermal analyses confirmed water in the complex composition. Final residue of the thermal treatment was identified by powder X-ray diffractometry as metallic platinum.     

Rearrangement of a (dithiolato)platinum(II) complex formed by reaction of cyclic disulfide 7,8-dithiabicyclo[4.2.1]nona-2,4-diene with a platinum(0) complex: oxidation of the rearranged (dithiolato)platinum(II) complex

Reaction of the title bicyclic disulfide 16 with [(Ph3P)2Pt(eta2-C2H4)] (2) yielded the corresponding (dithiolato)platinum(II) complex 17 by oxidative addition. The initial product 17 isomerized at room temperature in a [1,5]-sulfur rearrangement to give another (dithiolato)platinum(II) complex 18 in high isolated yield. Oxidation reactions of 18 with dimethyldioxirane (DMD) provided (sulfenato-thiolato)platinum(II) 23, (sulfinato-thiolato)platinum(II) 24, (sulfenato-sulfinato)platinum(II) 25, and (disulfinato)platinum(II) 26 complexes, the structures of which were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The oxidation process took place regioselectively in the first step and chemoselectively in the second. The selectivities are discussed.     

Synthesis and characterization of a platinum(II) complex of camphenylphosphonic acid

Camphenylphosphonic acid RPO₃H₂, prepared by the literature reaction of PCl₅ with camphene, has been characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The compound crystallizes with a double chain structure formed by connected eight-membered hydrogen-bonded rings. Reaction of RPO₃H₂ with cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and excess silver(I) oxide in refluxing dichloromethane gives the platinum(II) phosphonate complex [Pt{O₃PR}(PPh₃)₂]. ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopic characterization of [Pt{O₃PR}(PPh₃)₂] shows that the two PPh₃ ligands are inequivalent due to asymmetry of the camphenyl group. An X-ray diffraction study on the platinum complex shows that the PC–H bond is directed toward the four-membered ring, resulting in the terpene group pointing away from the ring, in contrast to the previously reported structure of the saturated camphanylphosphonate complex. The differences are discussed in terms of steric interactions involving the phosphonate ligands.     

Freezing the conductance of platinum(II) complexes by quantum interference effect

Understanding the impact of substituents on the quantum interference effect at single molecule scale is of great importance for the design of molecular devices. In this work, three platinum(II) complexes with –H, –NH₂ and –NO₂ groups on conductive backbones were designed and synthesized. Single-molecule conductance, which was measured using scanning tunnelling microscope break junction (STM-BJ) technique, demonstrated a conductance freeze phenomenon under the variation of substituents. Theoretical study revealed that, despite the electronic effect of the substituents shifting the energy level of molecular orbital, the quantum interference effect vanished the influence of electronic effect on the conductance and eventually leaded to the conductance freeze.     

Synthesis and characterization of a new platinum(II) complex with L-mimosine

Elemental, mass spectrometry and thermal analyses for the complex are consistent with the formula [PtCl₂(C₈H₁₀N₂O₄)]·1.5H₂O. ¹³C NMR, ¹⁵N NMR and infrared spectroscopy indicate coordination of the ligand to Pt(II) through the N and O atoms in a square-planar geometry. The final residue after thermal treatment was identified as metallic Pt. The complex is soluble in dimethylsulfoxide.
