Luminescence, electrochemistry and host-guest properties of dinuclear platinum(ii) terpyridyl complexes of sulfur-containing bridging ligands.
A series of dinuclear platinum(ii) terpyridyl and terpyridyl-crown complexes with 2,2-dicyano-1,1-ethylenedithiolate (i-mnt), 1,3-benzenedithiolate (SC(6)H(4)S-1,3) and N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (dtc) bridging ligands have been synthesized and characterized. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties, together with that of the related mononuclear platinum(ii) terpyridyl-crown complex and its crown-free analogue, have been studied. The ion-binding properties of the terpyridyl-crown complexes have been determined by electronic absorption spectroscopy and ESI-mass spectrometry. The X-ray crystal structures of [Pt(trpyC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-benzo-15-crown-5)Cl]PF(6), [{Pt(trpy)}(2)(micro-SC(6)H(4)S-1,3)](PF(6))(2) and [{Pt(trpy)}(2){micro-(i-mnt)}](PF(6))(2) have also been determined.
