A hydrophobic and water-insoluble platinum(II) compound, cis-(cha)(2)Pt(NO(3))(2) was encapsulated by macromolecular micelles self-assembled from an amphiphilic cyclotriphosphazene [NP(MPEG750)(GlyPheLeu)(2)Et](3) (CP750). The micelle-encapsulated platinum(II) compound exhibited outstanding pharmacokinetics in rats by showing long blood circulation and much larger systemic exposure (AUC=43.5 μgh/ml) compared with the free carboplatin (AUC=4.32 μgh/ml). Biodistribution study of the micellar platinum(II) compound using male Sprague-Dawley rats has shown excellent tumor to tissue ratios of 4.03 at 2h post injection and 4.67 at 24h post injection. Furthermore, the micellar platinum(II) compound exhibited more than 6 times higher cellular uptake in human cervical (HeLa) and lung (A549) tumor cells compared with the free platinum compound. Also it is surprising that the micellar platinum(II) compound displayed specifically high cytotoxicity against the stomach tumor cells (SNU638), which are one of the least responsive to chemotherapeutic agents currently in clinical use. The acute toxicity study has shown that the LD(50) values of free and the micellar cis-(cha)(2)Pt(NO(3))(2) are approximately 70 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg, respectively. Thus the platinum compound encapsulated by cyclotriphosphazene micelles is a promising candidate for preclinical studies.

Monoanionic and neutral nickel(II) and platinum(II) bis(dithiolene) complexes based on the 5,6-diethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolate (de-dddt) chiral ligand have been prepared in racemic and enantiopure forms. Neutral closed-shell species have been generated from monoanionic precursors upon electrocrystallization. The racemic anionic (TBA)[Ni(,-de-dddt)(,-de-dddt)] complex crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group 2/, while the neutral complexes crystallized in the enantiomorphic tetragonal space group 422 or 422.

Bidentate Pt(II) complexes with cyclometalated -heteroarene or -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been extensively studied as phosphorescent emitters over the past two decades. Herein, we introduce a difluoromethyl group (CFH) into the wingtip of NHCs, where CFH acts as a lipophilic hydrogen bond (HB) donor. Their cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes show excellent PLQYs (up to 93%) and phosphorescence lifetimes mainly due to the rigid structure with hydrogen bonding between the CFH group and the adjacent O atom at the β-diketonate ligand.

Controlling the size and morphology of supramolecular assemblies is still an enormous challenge for the development of novel functional materials. Herein, cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes were designed and used as effective theragnostic supramolecular nano agents. Benzoquinoline was used as the main C^N ligand, and the increased number of aromatic rings in the N^N ligand of Pt complexes could greatly improve lipophilicity and cytotoxicity towards cancer cells over normal cells.

Triphenylphosphonium (PhP, TPP) is a highly effective mitochondrial targeting group, an example of using which on mitochondrion-targeted monofunctional platinum(II) agent as anticancer drug was OPT, with the -CHPhP group at ortho position of the pyriplatin pyridine ring. To study how carrier ligands might affect the efficacy of OPT, we constructed two platinum(II) agents with bulky bidentate ligands based on OPT. DNA structural changes caused by these three platinum(II) agents using molecular dynamics simulations were analysed.

In recent years, the near-infrared (NIR) light-emitting materials have attracted increasing attention due to the broad application prospects in the fields of military industry, aerospace, lighting, display and wearable devices. As the transition metal complexes, platinum(II) complexes have been shown to emit luminescence efficiently in NIR organic light-emitting diodes because of the unique d electron structure. This structure ensures that the platinum(II) complex molecules exhibit a high planarity, variety of excited states, and strong intermolecular interactions.
