A Theoretical Investigation of Substituent Effects on the Absorption and Emission Properties of a Series of Terpyridylplatinum(II) Acetylide Complexes

Abstract A comprehensive calculational investigation has been carried out on a series of complexes of the type [(terpyridyl-R1)Pt(C,C-R2)], where terpyridyl-R1 is a series of substituted 2,2':6',2"-terpyridyl ligands and C,C-R2 is a series of substituted acetylide ligands. In one series of complexes (I), the energy of the electronic excited state is varied by changing the substituents on the terpyridyl ligand (R1). In a second series of complexes (II), this electronic structure variation is obtained by changing the para substituents (R2) of the acetylide ligand. The effect of varying the substituents on the lowest-energy excited states of the complexes has been assessed by calculating their electronic structures and excitation energies. We anticipated that introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents on the terpyridyl ligand will benefit the LLCT (or MLCT) and prohibit the nonradiative pathways via d-d transitions in these complexes; introduction of electron-donating substituents on the acetylide ligand can also prohibit the nonradiative pathways by increasing the energy gaps between the HOMO,LUMO and d-d transitions. The results also reveal that the lowest-energy excitations of all complexes of series I and IIa,b complexes are dominated by a ,(C,C),,,,*(terp) (LLCT) transition mixed with some energetically d,(Pt),,,terpyridyl (MLCT) transition. However, for the complexes IIc,IId, in which phenyl rings are introduced on the acetylide ligand, the lowest-lying absorptions of IIc and IId are predominately LLCT in character, with less MLCT mixture, due to a lower contribution of the Pt(d) orbital to the HOMO, while for IIe, with a stronger donor on the acetylide, the lowest-lying absorption is completely LLCT in character. The absorption and emission calculations using the TDDFT method are based on the optimized geometries obtained at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ and CIS/LanL2DZ levels, respectively.

Silicon Surface-Bound Redox-Active Conjugated Wires Derived From Mono- and Dinuclear Iron(II) and Ruthenium(II) Oligo(phenyleneethynylene) Complexes,

Electron-rich mononuclear Fe(II) or dinuclear Fe(II)/Ru(II) acetylide complexes are photochemically grafted onto hydrogenated silicon surfaces following a simple and mild one-step procedure. The monolayers of redox-active organometallics that are formed exhibit efficient electrical communication between their bound metallic centers and the silicon surface through interfacial SiC bonds.
