New CNC Bis-Cyclometalated Platinum(II) Complexes: Synthesis, Structures, and Photophysical Properties
文摘
The reaction of a new ligand, ethyl 2,6-diphenylisonicotinate (EtO2C鈥揅NC鈥揌2), with K2PtCl4 in acetic acid affords the monocyclometalated complex [{(EtO2C鈥揅NC鈥揌)Pt(渭-Cl)}2] (1), which transforms to the bis-cyclometalated derivative [Pt(EtO2C鈥揅NC)(DMSO)] (2) when heated in hot DMSO. Complex 2 is the precursor for preparing a new series of neutral mononuclear bis-cyclometalated complexes [Pt(EtO2C鈥揅NC)(L)] (L = tht (3), PPh3 (4), CN-tBu (5), py (6), py-tBu (7), py-NH2 (8), py-CN (9), py-CONH2 (10)). These new complexes have been characterized spectroscopically, and structures of 2鈥?b>10 have been determined crystallographically. Within each crystal structure the individual molecules pack in a head-to-tail arrangement. Noncovalent interactions, including 蟺路路路蟺, C鈥揌路路路O, C鈥揌路路路N, N鈥揌路路路Pt, N鈥揌路路路蟺, C鈥揌路路路蟺, and N鈥揌路路路O, contribute significantly to the supramolecular structures displayed by these complexes in the solid state. All complexes display UV鈥搗is absorptions in dichloromethane solution. Excitation and emission studies as well as lifetime measurements are described and can be correlated to the solid-state structures of the complexes. DFT and TDDFT computational studies have been performed on 5 and 8 which support the conclusions drawn from the photophysical studies.
