A series of luminescent platinum(II) alkynyl complexes containing 2,5-diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (oxa-2,5) and 10,15-dihydro-5H-diindeno[1,2-a;1',2'-c]fluorene (truxene) as the cores and different electron donors at the periphery has been synthesized and characterized. These complexes showed long-lived emissions in both solution and in the solid state at room temperature and have been found to exhibit two-photon absorption (2PA) and two-photon induced luminescence. Their 2PA cross-sections (sigma(2)) have also been determined.
A series of luminescent multinuclear platinum(II) alkynyl complexes containing triethynylbenzene or 1,4-bis(3,5-diethynylphenyl)buta-1,3-diyne as cores has been successfully synthesized and characterized. The electronic absorption, emission, nanosecond transient absorption and electrochemical properties of these complexes have been reported. These complexes show long-lived emissions in degassed benzene solution and in alcoholic glass at 77 K. Moreover, they are found to exhibit two-photon absorption (2PA) and two-photon induced luminescence (TPIL) properties, and their two-photon absorption cross-sections have been determined to be 6-191 GM upon excitation at 720 nm. Through a systematic comparison, it has been found that tetra- and hexanuclear platinum(II) complexes show better 2PA and TPIL properties than their di- and trinuclear counterparts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
