The syntheses, crystal structures, and detailed investigations of the photophysical properties of phosphorescent platinum(II) Schiff base complexes are presented. All of these complexes exhibit intense absorption bands with lambda(max) in the range 417-546 nm, which are assigned to states of metal-to-ligand charge-transfer ((1)MLCT) (1)[Pt(5d)-->pi*(Schiff base)] character mixed with (1)[lone pair(phenoxide)-->pi*(imine)] charge-transfer character. The platinum(II) Schiff base complexes are thermally stable, with decomposition temperatures up to 495 degrees C, and show emission lambda(max) at 541-649 nm in acetonitrile, with emission quantum yields up to 0.27. Measurements of the emission decay times in the temperature range from 130 to 1.5 K give total zero-field splitting parameters of the emitting triplet state of 14-28 cm(-1). High-performance yellow to red organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) using these platinum(II) Schiff base complexes have been fabricated with the best efficiency up to 31 cd A(-1) and a device lifetime up to 77 000 h at 500 cd m(-2).

Article Synopsis
  • A novel Schiff base compound, 5-((3,3-diphenylalilidene)amino)pyrimidine-4-amine (L), was synthesized along with new platinum and ruthenium complexes, which were characterized through various analytical techniques.
  • * The complexes demonstrated a strong ability to inhibit amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregation in human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y), significantly improving cell viability by up to 80% at 10 μM concentration compared to Aβ aggregation alone.
  • * Further investigations using advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques confirmed that these metal complexes actively engage with Aβ and effectively inhibit its aggregation.

The synthesis, structure, and circularly polarized phosphorescence (CPP) properties of axially chiral cyclometalated binuclear platinum(II) complexes were described. A series of optically pure binuclear platinum(II) complexes were synthesized in five steps from commercially available ()- or ()-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) as starting materials. Their three-dimensional molecular structures and square-planar coordination geometries were elucidated from X-ray diffraction and 2D NMR analysis.

Current anticancer therapies suffer from issues such as off-target side effects and the emergence of drug resistance; therefore, the discovery of alternative therapeutic approaches is vital. These can include the development of drugs with different modes of action, and the exploration of new biomolecular targets. For the former, there has been increasing interest in drugs that are activated by an external stimulus (e.

Article Synopsis
  • New metal complexes derived from a Schiff base called 3-acetylcoumarin benzoylhydrazone were synthesized, characterized, and analyzed using various spectroscopic techniques and computational methods.
  • The study revealed that the ligands exhibit different coordination dynamics in the complexes, showing tridentate and bidentate behavior depending on the metal ion involved.
  • The synthesized complexes demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines, particularly complex C2, which outperformed the parent ligand and indicated enhanced anticancer properties when metal ions were incorporated.

A new class of amphiphilic tetradentate platinum(ii) Schiff base complexes has been designed and synthesized. The self-assembly properties by exploiting the potential Pt⋯Pt interactions of amphiphilic platinum(ii) Schiff base complexes in the solution state have been systematically investigated. The presence of Pt⋯Pt interactions has further been supported by computational studies and non-covalent interaction (NCI) analysis of the dimer of the complex.
