Circularly polarized luminescence of pinene-modified tetradentate platinum(II) enantiomers containing fused 5/6/6 metallocycles.

In this study, a couple of tetradentate Pt(II) enantiomers ((-)- and (+)-) and a couple of tetradentate Pt(IV) enantiomers ((-)- and (+)-) containing fused 5/6/6 metallocycles have been synthesized by controlling reaction conditions. Two valence forms could transform into each other through mild chemical oxidants and reductants. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirms the structures of (-)-1 and (-)-2.

Mechanochromic luminescence properties of fluoro-substituted pinene-containing cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes with multiple triplet excited states.

The structure-mechanochromism relationship is explored with respect to packing patterns and corresponding intermolecular interactions that are affected by the number and location of -F. The distinct and reversible mechanochormic luminescence (Δλem up to ca. 90 nm) of yellow solids (-)-1-Yg, (-)-2-Yg, and (-)-3-Yg was displayed with a simultaneous crystal-to-amorphous transformation.

Highly efficient removal of Cu(ii) by novel dendritic polyamine-pyridine-grafted chitosan beads from complicated salty and acidic wastewaters.

In this study, dendritic polyamine chitosan beads with and without 2-aminomethyl pyridine were facilely prepared and characterized. Compared to CN (without the pyridine function), more adsorption active sites, larger pores, higher nitrogen content, higher specific surface area, and higher strength could be obtained for CNP (with the pyridine function). CNP microspheres afforded a larger adsorption capacity than those obtained by CN for different pH values; further, the uptake amounts of Cu(ii) were 0.

Enhanced Circularly Polarized Luminescence Activity in Chiral Platinum(II) Complexes With Bis- or Triphenylphosphine Ligands.

Distinct circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity was observed in chiral (CNN)Pt(II) [(CNN) = 4,5-pinene-6'-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine] complexes with bis- or triphenylphosphine ligands. Compared to the pseudo-square-planar geometry of chiral (CNN)Pt(II) complexes with chloride, phenylacetylene (PPV) and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (Dmpi) ligands, the coordination configuration around the Pt(II) nucleus of chiral (CNN)Pt(II) complexes with bulk phosphine ligands is far more distorted. The geometry is straightforwardly confirmed by X-ray crystallography.

PtPt interaction triggered tuning of circularly polarized luminescence activity in chiral dinuclear platinum(ii) complexes.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity switched by PtPt interaction is disclosed in two couples of dinuclear Pt(ii) complex enantiomers. Upon varying the length of the bridging ligand, intramolecular metal-metal interaction manipulation is achieved as evidenced from crystal structures. Complex (-)-1 exhibiting strong PtPt interaction displays red phosphorescence with a maximum peak at 638 nm, while complex (-)-2 exhibiting weak PtPt interaction displays green phosphorescence with a maximum peak at 530 nm.

Solvent-tuned charge-transfer properties of chiral Pt(ii) complex and TCNQ˙ anion adducts.

A new pair of adducts comprising one chiral Pt(ii) complex cation, [Pt((-)-L)(Dmpi)] ((-)-1) or [Pt((+)-L)(Dmpi)] ((+)-1) [(-)-L = (-)-4,5-pinene-6'-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine, (+)-L = (+)-4,5-pinene-6'-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine, Dmpi = 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide], together with one TCNQ˙ anion have been obtained, and the structures have been confirmed single-crystal X-ray crystallography and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The chiral Pt(ii) cation and TCNQ˙ anion are dissociated in MeOH solution, while charge transfer adducts are formed in HO solution, leading to perturbation of the electronic structure and alteration of the chiral environment, as evidenced by the differences in the UV-vis absorption and electronic circular dichroism spectra. The solvent-tuned charge-transfer properties also have been validated through emission and resonance light scattering spectra.
