Direct access to the triplet emitting state from the ground state is observed for Pt(II) complexes containing heterocyclic (CwedgeC', CwedgeN, NwedgeN') and bis(diphenylphosphino)alkane (PwedgeP') ligands. Extinction coefficients for such transitions are in the range 4-25 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1). Emission quantum yields resulting from singlet-to-triplet excitation are as high as 61-77 times the emission quantum yields resulting from singlet-to-singlet excitation at 296 K. The intersystem crossing quantum yield from the singlet excited state to triplet emitting state is lower than 2% at 296 K but is greatly enhanced at 77 K. The forbidden electronic transition observed for Pt(II) complexes is attributed to result from spin-orbit coupling due to the presence of Pt(II) in the skeleton structure. The importance of excitation spectra on the computation of emission quantum yields is discussed.

Design Rule of Tetradentate Ligand-Based Pt(II) Complex for Efficient Singlet Exciton Harvesting in Fluorescent Organic Light-Emitting Diodes.

Controlling intermolecular interactions, such as triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) and triplet-polaron annihilation (TPA), is crucial for achieving high quantum efficiency in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by suppressing exciton loss. This study investigates the molecular design of tetradentate Pt(II) complexes used for singlet exciton harvesting in fluorescent OLEDs to elucidate the relationship between the chemical structure of the ligands and exciton quenching mechanisms. It was discovered that the bulkiness of substituents is pivotal for maximizing quantum efficiency in these devices.

The synthesis of novel highly phosphorescent N^C^N tridentate platinum(II)-complex-peptide nucleic acid (PNA) bioconjugates was accomplished through the solid-phase approach. Melting temperature measurements and circular dichroism spectroscopy studies demonstrated that these conjugates maintain the PNA ability to recognize complementary ssDNA and ssRNA, though the length of the spacer between the metal center and the PNA sequence affects their hybridization properties. Noteworthy, the conjugation of PNA to this family of Pt(II) complexes significantly enhanced the luminescent features of the organometallic moiety, leading to increased quantum yields (82.

Carbazolylpyridine ()-based tetradentate platinum(II) complexes containing fused 6/5/6 metallocycles.

A series of carbazolylpyridine ()-based 6/5/6 Pt(II) complexes featuring tetradentate ligands with nitrogen or oxygen atoms as bridging groups was designed and synthesized, and the bridging nitrogen atoms were derived from acridinyl (Ac), azaaceridine (AAc) and carbazole (Cz). Systematic experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the ligand structures have a significant effect on the electrochemical, photophysical and excited state properties of these complexes. Their oxidation processes mainly occur on the carbazole-Pt moieties, whereas the reduction processes typically occur on the electron-deficient pyridine (Py) moieties.

A Pt(II) aqua complex supported by mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-immobilized sulfonated CNN pincer ligand featuring a rigid SiO tether was prepared. This hybrid material was tested as a catalyst in H/D exchange reactions of C(sp)-H bonds of selected aromatic substrates and DO-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol- (TFE-) mixtures or CDCOD acting as a source of exchangeable deuterium. The catalyst immobilization served as a means to not only enable the catalyst's recyclability but also minimize the coordination of sulfonate groups and the metal centers originating from different catalyst's moieties that would preserve reactive Pt(OH) fragments needed for catalytic C-H bond activation.

Autophagy-targeted Pt(IV) agents: a new horizon in antitumor drug development.

Institute of Biopharmaceutical Research, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252059, P. R. China.

Pt(IV) complexes as prodrugs of Pt(II) drugs exhibit numerous advantages such as enhanced stability, reduced toxicity, increased oral bioavailability, and efficacy in overcoming the drug resistance of Pt(II) compounds, which underscore their significant potential in the advancement of novel Pt anticancer agents. Furthermore, protective autophagy is pivotal in sustaining tumor cell homeostasis and modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME), thereby representing a critical target for the development of antitumor drugs. Specific inhibition or activation of autophagy during chemotherapy would break the internal homeostasis in the TME and increase antitumor activities.
