Dual-Emissive Rectangular Supramolecular Pt(II)-p-Biphenyl with 4,4'-Bipyridine Derivative Metallacycles: Stepwise Synthesis and Photophysical Properties.

ABSTRACT: Mixed-ligand tetranuclear supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) of Pt(II)-p-biphenyl and bridging ligands derivatives of 4,4'-bypiridine (8)-(10), were synthesized and characterized. The SCCs were synthesized stepwise, starting from the Pt-p-biphenyl -Pt core. The crystal structure of complex {[Pt(2,2'-bpy)]₄(μ-bph)₂(μ-(4,4'-bpy)₂}{PF₆}₄ (2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, bph = p-biphenyl and 4,4'-bpy = 4,4' bipyridine), was determined using single-crystal diffraction methods. The emission profile of the tetranuclear complexes (8)-(10) was influenced by the length of the bridging ligands and was found to depend on solvent polarity. Dual-emission patterns in methanol-water mixtures were observed only in the cases of complexes (9) and (10), attributed to aggregation-induced emission phenomena.
