Monoanionic Dipyrrin–Pyridine Ligands: Synthesis, Structure and Photophysical Properties

Abstract: A novel monoanionic tetradentate N4 ligand (F 5 DPPy) based on a dipyrromethene skeleton as a molecular platform and decorated with pyridine rings at the 1-and 9-positions of the dipyrrin motif has been prepared and characterized. Interestingly, although this ligand is weakly fluorescent, it presents a chelation-enhanced fluorescence effect of around 150 times upon coordination to Zn II . Time-dependent (TD) DFT calculations reproduce nicely the spectroscopic features of both [a]

“…As mentioned in the Introduction, the Py-BTD ligands are luminescent. Their coordination to metal ions with d 10 configurations such as Zn(II) should provide luminescent complexes with, in principle, an increase of the emission efficiency as a consequence of a more rigid structure [47][48][49][50]. Moreover, emission wavelength could vary because of the different dihedral angles between the pyridine and BTD units, influencing the extension of the π-conjugated system.…”

“…The tetradentate chelation of the N 2 O 2 dipyrrin unit employed in this study successfully yielded stable neutral complexes of these Lewis acidic elements in methanol. The study of these new chromophores contributes to the active fields of coordination and photophysical chemistry for a series of dipyrrin‐metal complexes …”

“…For this study, we prepared an iron complex with the DPPy (DipyrrinDiPyridine) ligand we previously designed in our lab (Figure left) . Metalation of the DPPy ligand with Fe(OTf) 2 led to the formation of the iron(II) precursor complex that upon exposure to air yielded {[(DPPy)(EtOH)Fe III ] 2 O}(OTf) 2 , a μ ‐oxo iron(III) dimer abbrieviated as I (OTf) 2 (see the Supporting Information).…”

“…Fort his study,w ep repared an iron complex with the DPPy (DipyrrinDiPyridine) ligand we previously designed in our lab (Figure 1left). [25] Metalation of the DPPy ligand with Fe(OTf) 2 led to the formation of the iron(II) precursor complex that upon exposure to air yielded {[(DPPy)-(EtOH)Fe III ] 2 O}(OTf) 2 ,am-oxo iron(III) dimer abbrieviated as I(OTf) 2 (see the Supporting Information). Theu nderlying reactivity is reminiscent of that of the corresponding iron(II) porphyrin (Por) derivatives where O 2 binding and subsequent OÀObond cleavage leads to the highly oxidized iron(IV)-oxo species that ultimately reacts with the starting iron(II) complex to generate the [(Por)Fe III ] 2 Od erivative.…”
