An unprecedented cyclometallated platinum(<scp>ii</scp>) complex incorporating a phosphinine co-ligand: synthesis and photoluminescence behaviour

Abstract

The first luminescent cyclometallated platinum(II) complex bearing phosphinine co-ligands is reported. The long-lived luminescence, which it displays at 77 K, is assigned to a phosphinine-localised triplet excited state on the basis of electrochemical data and TD-DFT calculations.
