Synthesis, Luminescence, Electrochemistry, and Ion-Binding Studies of Platinum(II) Terpyridyl Acetylide Complexes

Abstract

A series of platinum(II) terpyridyl acetylide complexes, [Pt(trpy)(C⋮CR)]PF 6 (R = C 6 H 5, C 6 H 4 Cl-4, C 6 H 4 CH 3 -4, C 6 H 4 OCH 3 -4, C 6 H 4 NO 2 -4, benzo-15-crown-5, C 6 H 3 -(OCH 3 ) 2 -3,4), have been synthesized and characterized. Their luminescence and electrochemical behaviors have been studied. The ion-binding properties of [Pt(trpy)(C⋮C-benzo-15-crown-5)]PF 6 and the X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(trpy)(C⋮CC 6 H 5 )]PF 6 are also reported.
