Platinum(IV) Complexes with Tridentate, NNC-Coordinating Ligands: Synthesis, Structures, and Luminescence.

ABSTRACT: Platinum(II) complexes of NNC-cyclometalating ligands based on 6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (HL¹) have been widely investigated for their luminescence properties. We describe how PtL¹Cl and five analogues with differently substituted aryl rings, PtL^2-6Cl, can be oxidized with chlorine and/or iodobenzene dichloride to generate Pt(IV) compounds of the form Pt(NNC-Lⁿ)Cl₃ (n = 1-6). The molecular structures of several of them have been determined by X-ray diffraction. These PtLⁿCl₃ compounds react with 2-arylpyridines to give a new class of Pt(IV) complex of the form [Pt(NNC)(NC)Cl]⁺. Elevated temperatures are required, and the reaction is accompanied by competit
