title: 2,2'-Bipyridinyl carboranes as B,N,N-ligands in cyclometallated complexes of platinum(II).
abstract: Novel B,N,N-cyclometallated Pt(II) complexes of 2,2'-bipyridin-6-yl carboranes exhibit absorption and emission similar to relative Pt(II) complexes of aromatic C,N,N-ligands: the same transitions but lower intensities. DFT calculations suggest the former emits from the (3)MLCT state while for the latter the mixed (3)ICT-MLCT transitions should be considered.
