Abstract: | Acetone solutions of Au(OClO3)(PCy3)] react with complexes M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}2]2- t-Bu-fy=2,7-di-tert-butylfluoren-9-ylidene; M=Pd (2a), Pt (2b)] or M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}(dbbpy)] dbbpy=4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridyl; M=Pd (3a), Pt (3b)] to give the heteronuclear complexes M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}2{Au(PCy3)}2] 2:1 molar ratio; M=Pd (4a), Pt (4b)], M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}(dbbpy){Au(PCy3)}]ClO4 1:1 molar ratio; M=Pd (5a), Pt (5b)], or M{S2C=(t-Bu-fy)}(dbbpy){Au(PCy3)}2](ClO4)2 2:1 molar ratio; M=Pd (6a), Pt (6b)]. The crystal structures of 3a, 4a, 4b, 5b, and 6a have been solved by single-crystal X-ray studies and, in the cases of the heteronuclear derivatives, reveal the formation of short Pd...Au or Pt...Au metallophilic contacts in the range of 3.048-3.311 A. Compounds 4a and b and 5a and b undergo a dynamic process in solution that involves the migration of the Au(PCy3)]+ units between the sulfur atoms of the dithiolato ligands. The coordination of 2a and b and 3a and b to Au(PCy3)]+ units results in important modifications of their photophysical properties. The dominant effect in the absorption spectra is an increase in the energy of the MLCT (4a and b) or charge transfer to diimine (5a, b, 6a, b) transitions because of a decrease in the energies of the mixed metal/dithiolate HOMOs. The Pd complexes 2a and 4a are luminescent at 77 K, and the features of their emissions are consistent with an essentially metal-centered 3d-d state. The Pt/Au complexes are also luminescent at 77 K, and their emissions can be assigned as originating from a MLCT triplet state (4b) or a mixture of charge transfer to diimine and diimine intraligand pi-pi* triplet states (5b and 6b). |
