Two series of heteroleptic monoalkynylphosphonium Pt(II) complexes decorated with 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (, series) and 6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (, series) ligands, were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The complexes obtained exhibit triplet emission in solution, and the characteristics inside the series depend on the nature of the alkynylphosphonium ligand. The description of electronic transitions responsible for energy absorption and emission in discrete Pt(II) complexes was made on the basis of a detailed analysis of the results of DFT calculations, and has shown to involve MLCT, ILCT, and LLCT transitions. The complexes of both series exhibit triplet solid-state luminescence with parameters that also depend on the composition of the complexes, and the analysis of the experimental data indicates the realization of LC, MLCT, MMLCT, and MC transitions due to Pt⋯Pt metallophilic interactions and matrix rigidity. It was shown that the anion variation leads to a significant difference in the photophysical characteristics of the complexes, which exhibit a smooth dependence of the luminescent properties on the anion size. Using quantum chemical modeling, it is demonstrated how the anion size influences the Pt⋯Pt distance in the solid state.

Photoinduced Reductive C-O Couplings from Unsymmetrical Bis-Cyclometalated Pt(IV) Dicarboxylato Complexes.

Unsymmetrical bis-cyclometalated dicarboxylato complexes (-6-32)-[Pt(tpy)(OCR)] [tpy = cyclometalated 2-(-tolyl)pyridine, R = -Bu (), Me (), Ph (), CF ()], are obtained from the reaction of -[Pt(tpy)] with the appropriate PhI(OCR) reagent. Treatment of complexes of this type with different carboxylates (R'CO) results in the formation of mixed-carboxylato derivatives, namely (-6-43)-[Pt(tpy)(OCMe)(OCR')] [R' = -Bu (), CF (), Ph ()], (-6-34)-[Pt(tpy)(OCCF)(OCR')] [R' = -Bu (), Me (), Ph ()], and (-6-34)-[Pt(tpy)(OC--Bu)(OCMe)] (). Irradiation of - and - with UV light (365 nm) in MeCN gives 5-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl pivalate (), 5-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl acetate () or 5-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl benzoate () as the major photoproduct from most complexes, resulting from a reductive C-O coupling between a tpy ligand and a carboxylato ligand.

In this work, the structural and photophysical characterization of statistical co-crystals based on two homoleptic Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes as well as their mechano-responsive properties are reported. Ligand-dominated H⋯F bonds, which reinforce metal-metal interactions in the crystalline state, support emission from MMLCT states. All co-crystals show a distinct red-shift upon grinding, showcasing their inherent mechano-responsive characteristics stemming from (hetero-)bimetallic contacts.

A systematic theoretical study was performed on the electrophilic and nucleophilic properties of Group 10 square-planar metal compounds [M(SCNEt)] (M = Ni , Pd , and Pt ) and their complexes. The nucleophilic metal center and coordinated sulfur atom in [M(SCNEt)] facilitate the formation of metal-involving and conventional noncovalent bonds. The presence a heavier metal center results in a more negative electrostatic potential and a larger nucleophilicity, which in turn leads to the formation of stronger metal-involving noncovalent bonds than those formed by a lighter metal center.

Improving the Blue Color Purity of Tetradentate Pt(II) Complexes with the Assistance of F⋅⋅⋅H Interaction towards High-Performance Blue Phosphorescent OLEDs with EQE over 33 .

Among the various challenges in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), simultaneously achieving high efficiency, a long lifespan, and a narrow full-width at half maximum (FWHM) in blue OLEDs remains a significant hurdle. Herein, we demonstrate a strategy to improve the color purity of tetradentate Pt(II) complexes with the assistance of ⋅⋅⋅H interaction by incorporating trifluoromethyl (-CF) groups into the well-known blue tetradentate Pt(II) phosphorescent complex. The results show that the different substitution positions of -CF have significantly varying effects on the FWHM values of the complexes; specifically, introducing -CF on the benzene ring of carbazole effectively reduces the FWHM, while introducing it on the benzene ring linked to the carbene unit has a minimal impact.

Aerobic oxidation of a dimethylplatinum(II) complex featuring 1,1-di(2-pyridyl)ethanol as a supporting ligand leads to the formation of two unexpected Pt complexes (in ∼1:1 ratio), neither of which results from direct oxidation typical for Pt centers supported by popular κ-(,) ligands. While one product features an isomerized Pt center stabilized by the κ-(,,) ligand coordination mode, surprisingly, the other product results from intramolecular activation of the ligand methyl fragment. Mechanistic studies, reactivity of model complexes, and DFT calculations reveal that the critical proton-responsive nature of the ligand allows formation of intermediates that result in a concerted metalation deprotonation (CMD)-like C-H activation at Pt.
