A family of neutral cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes [(C^N)Pt(?-S^S)] with ?-bonded benzenedithiolate {(?-S^S) = Cp*Ru(C6H4S2)} and various cyclometalated ligands, {(C^N) = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy), (2); 2,4-difluorophenylpyridine (F2ppy) (3), benzo[h]quinoline (bzq) (4); dibenzo[f,h]quinoline (dbzq) (5)} were prepared and fully characterized. For comparison purposes the related bipyridine platinum(II) complex [(bpy)Pt(?-S^S)][OTf ] (6) was also prepared. The electrochemistry behavior of these complexes was investigated and shows the enhanced stability of these compounds toward oxidation due to the presence of Cp*Ru moiety which is now ?-bonded to the benzenedithiolato group. Moreover, several complexes were identified by single-crystal X-ray molecular structures. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first structures to be reported for cyclometalated platinum complexes with a ?-bonded benzenedithiolate (bdt) ligand. All of the complexes are luminescent in fluid solution at room temperature and in glassy solution at 77 K; their emission properties can be tuned through ligand variation.

Abstract
A family of neutral cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes [(C^N)Pt(?-S^S)] with ?-bonded benzenedithiolate {(?-S^S) = Cp*Ru(C6H4S2)} and various cyclometalated ligands, {(C^N) = 2-phenylpyridine (ppy), (2); 2,4-difluorophenylpyridine (F2ppy) (3), benzo[h]quinoline (bzq) (4); dibenzo[f,h]quinoline (dbzq) (5)} were prepared and fully characterized. For comparison purposes the related bipyridine platinum(II) complex [(bpy)Pt(?-S^S)][OTf ] (6) was also prepared. The electrochemistry behavior of these complexes was investigated and shows the enhanced stability of these compounds toward oxidation due to the presence of Cp*Ru moiety which is now ?-bonded to the benzenedithiolato group. Moreover, several complexes were identified by single-crystal X-ray molecular structures. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first structures to be reported for cyclometalated platinum complexes with a ?-bonded benzenedithiolate (bdt) ligand. All of the complexes are luminescent in fluid solution at room temperature and in glassy solution at 77 K; their emission properties can be tuned through ligand variation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
