Mixed 2-phenylpyridine and 5-substitued-8-hydroxyquinolines palladium(II) complexes: new emitters in solutions at room temperature.
The newly synthesized complexes formed by cyclopalladated 2-phenylpyridine co-ordinated to 5-substituted-8-hydroxyquinolines, are at room temperature and in fluid solution, luminescent with an absolute photoluminescent quantum yield which depends on the nature of the substituent in position 5.
