Photoresponsive Supramolecular Organometallic Nanosheets Induced by Pt^II⋅⋅⋅Pt^II and CH⋅⋅⋅π Interactions

Abstract

It's a flat world: Charge-neutral pincer-type cyclometalated platinum(II) aryl acetylides can be assembled into quasi-two-dimensional nanosheets through bilateral intermolecular noncovalent interactions (see picture). These nanosheets can be further self-organized into layered materials on a flat substrate and exhibit NIR phosphorescence and light-modulated conductivity.
