Eight molecules with different conformations are present in the unit cell of the Pt complex 1, which contains a mismatched arrangement of the chiral ligands Chiraphos and Binol (i.e., (S,S)-Chiraphos prefers the δ conformation, whereas (R)-Binol tends to induce the λ conformation in the diphosphane). The observed flexibility of these bidentate ligands should not be disregarded in stereochemical models for explaining the selectivity in asymmetric catalysis.

The discovery of cisplatin (cisPt) as an effective anticancer agent was a milestone in the health industry. Despite its success, undesired side effects and acquired resistance still limit the therapeutic usefulness of cisPt. Intrastrand adduct formation at consecutive purines and structural modifications of DNA caused by platinum(II) complexes are important factors for antitumor efficacy.

Transition metal complexes are well-known for their efficient light emission and are promising for applications ranging from bioimaging to light-emitting diodes. In solution, interactions between the metal centers of two complexes become possible and drastically change the photophysical properties. For real-world devices, solid-state materials consisting of these molecules are preferable.

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.
