McGuire R Jr, Wilson MH, Nash JJ, Fanwick PE, McMillin DR: Lewis acid and base sensing by platinum (II) polypyridines. Inorg Chem. 2008 Apr 21;47(8):2946-8. Epub 2008 Mar 20.
This report describes platinum (II) complexes of 6-(2-pyridyl)-dipyrido [3,2- a:2',3'- c] phenazine (dppzp) and 6-phenyl-dipyrido [3,2- a:2',3'- c] phenazine (dppzphi). The [Pt (dppzp) Cl] (+) ( 1) system exhibits an excited-state lifetime of 5.0 micros in deoxygenated dichloromethane. Lewis bases quench the emission with rate constants on the order of 10 (7) M (-1) s (-1); however, acetic acid is definitely not a quencher. The carbometalated [Pt (dppzphi) Cl] ( 2) complex is novel in that it is subject to quenching by acid as well. In deoxygenated 2-chloronaphthalene, the excited-state lifetime of 2 is 270 ns, and acetic acid quenches the emission with a rate constant of 2 x 10 (8) M (-1) s (-1). In addition, Lewis bases like dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethylformamide quench the emission of 1 and 2 with similar efficiencies. The coordinatively unsaturated platinum center provides a logical place for attack by Lewis bases, whereas the phenazine extension of dppzphi introduces potentially acid-sensitive nitrogen centers. The emissive states of 1 and 2 exhibit mainly intraligand character, but enhanced charge-transfer character in 2 accounts for the differences in reactivity. |
