Mechanochromic luminescence switch of platinum(II) complexes with 5-trimethylsilylethynyl-2,2'-bipyridine

Planar platinum(II) complexes Pt(bpyC≡CSiMe(3))(C≡CC(6)H(4)R-4)(2) (R = H (1), Bu(t) (2)) with 5-trimethylsilylethynyl-22'-bipyridine show an unusual, reversible, and reproducible mechanical stimuli-responsive color and luminescence switch. When crystalline 1 or 2 is ground, bright yellow-green emitting is immediately converted to red luminescence with an emission red shift of 121-155 nm for 1 or 53-89 nm for 2. Meanwhile, the crystalline state is transformed to an amorphous phase that can be reverted to the original crystalline state by organic vapor adsorbing or heating, along with red luminescence turning back to yellow-green emitting. The reversibility and reproducibility of luminescence mechanochromic properties have been dynamically monitored by the variations in emission spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. The drastic grinding-triggered emission red shift is likely involved in the formation of a dimer or an aggregate through Pt-Pt interaction, resulting in a conversion of the (3)MLCT/(3)LLCT emissive state in the crystalline state into the (3)MMLCT triplet state in the amorphous phase. Compared with the drastic grinding-triggered emission red shift in 1 (121-155 nm), the corresponding response shift in 2 (53-89 nm) is much smaller since a bulky tert-butyl in C≡CC(6)H(4)bu(t)-4 induces the planar platinum(II) molecules to stack through a longer Pt-Pt distance and less intermetallic contact compared with that in 1, as suggested from EXAFS studies.

Concise total synthesis of (3Z,6Z,9S,10R)-9,10-epoxy-1,3,6-heneicosatriene, sex pheromone component of Hyphantria Cunea

The total synthesis of (3Z,6Z,9S,10R)-9,10-epoxy-1,3,6-heneicosatriene, sex pheromone component of Hyphantria cunea, using a convergent synthetic strategy, was achieved through the regioselective coupling of the two fragments, chiral epoxy tosylate and 1,4-diyne. The former fragment was synthesized in two efficient and convenient approaches starting from the same available material using Sharpless AE kinetic resolution as the key step.

Luminescent heteropolynuclear or multicomponent complexes with polypyridyl-functionalized alkynyl ligands

Polypyridyl-functionalized alkynes are a class of bifunctional ligands and very useful for the design of heteropolynuclear or multicomponent arrays as optoelectronic materials at the molecular level. This article focuses on reviewing the recent progress in design of luminescent heteropolynuclear or multicomponent complexes composed of photoactive discrete subunits using 2,2'-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2':6',2'-terpyridyl functionalized alkynyl ligands with both acetylide and polypyridyl groups. The preparation, molecular fabrication, structural features, and spectroscopic and luminescent properties are summarized to elucidate the correlation of structure and photophysical properties as well as triplet energy transfer between two or more photoactive organometallic subunits.     

Preparation, characterization, and photophysical properties of Pt-M (M = Ru, Re) heteronuclear complexes with 1,10-phenanthrolineethynyl ligands

When 3-ethynyl-1,10-phenanthroline (HCCphen) or 3,8-diethynyl-1,10-phenanthroline (HCCphenCCH) is utilized as a bifunctional bridging ligand via stepwise molecular fabrication, a series of Pt-Ru and Pt-Re heteronuclear complexes composed of both platinum(II) terpyridyl acetylide chromophores and a Ru(phen)(bpy)2/Re(phen)(CO)3Cl subunit were prepared by complexation of one or two Pt((t)Bu3tpy)(2+) units to the mononuclear Ru(II) or Re(I) precursor through platinum acetylide sigma coordination. These Pt-Ru and Pt-Re complexes exhibit intense low-energy absorptions originating from both Pt- and Ru (Re)-based metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) states in the near-visible region. They are strongly luminescent in both solid states and fluid solutions with a submicrosecond range of lifetimes and 0.27-6.58% of quantum yields in degassed acetonitrile. For the Pt-Ru heteronuclear complexes, effective intercomponent Pt --> Ru energy transfer takes place from the platinum(II) terpyridyl acetylide chromophores to the ruthenium(II) tris(diimine)-based emitters. In contrast, dual emission from both Pt- and Re-based (3)MLCT excited states occurs because of less efficient intercomponent Pt --> Re energy transfer in the Pt-Re heteronuclear complexes.

Vapochromic and mechanochromic phosphorescence materials based on a platinum(II) complex with 4-trifluoromethylphenylacetylide

Planar platinum(II) complex Pt(Me(3)SiC≡CbpyC≡CSiMe(3))(C≡CC(6)H(4)CF(3)-4)(2) (6) with 5,5'-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-2,2'-bipyridine and 4-trifluoromethylphenylacetylide exhibits remarkable luminescence vapochromic and mechanochromic properties and a thermo-triggered luminescence change. Solid-state 6 is selectively sensitive to vapors of oxygen-containing volatile compounds such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, and tetrahydropyrane (THP) with phosphorescence vapochromic response red shifts from 561 and 608 nm to 698 nm (THF), 689 nm (dioxane), and 715 nm (THP), respectively. Upon being mechanically ground, desolvated 6, 6·CH(2)Cl(2), and 6·(1)/(2)CH(2)ClCH(2)Cl exhibit significant mechanoluminescence red shifts from 561 and 608 nm to 730 nm, while vapochromic crystalline species 6·THF, 6·dioxane, or 6·THP affords a mechanoluminescence blue shift from 698 nm (THF), 689 nm (dioxane), or 715 nm (THP) to 645 nm, respectively. When the compounds are heated, a thermo-triggered luminescence change occurs, in which bright yellow luminescence at 561 and 608 nm turns to red luminescence at 667 nm with a drastic red shift. The multi-stimulus-responsive luminescence switches have been monitored by the changes in emission spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns. Both X-ray crystallographic and density functional theory studies suggest that the variation in the intermolecular Pt-Pt interaction is the key factor in inducing an intriguing luminescence switch.     

Synthesis, characterization, cytotoxic activity and DNA binding Ni(II) complex with the 6-hydroxy chromone-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone

A new ligand L, 6-hydroxy chromone-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, and its Ni(II) complex have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of Ni(II) complex was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Ni(II) complex and ligand L were subjected to biological tests in vitro using THP-1, Raji and Hela cancer cell lines. Compared with the ligand, Ni(II) complex showed significant cytotoxic activity against these three cancer cell lines. The interactions of Ni(II) complex and ligand L with calf thymus DNA were then investigated by spectrometric titration, ethidium bromide displacement experiments and viscosity measurements methods. The experimental results indicated that Ni(II) complex bound to DNA by intercalative mode via the ligand L. The intrinsic binding constants of Ni(II) complex and ligand L with DNA were (1.10 ± 0.65) × 10⁶ M⁻¹ and (1.48 ± 0.57) × 10⁵ M⁻¹, respectively.
