Pt-[NCN] Pincer Conducting Metallopolymers That Display Redox-Attenuated Metal−Ligand Interactions

Molybdenum Carbonyl Complexes with a Polymerizable Phosphorus/Nitrogen/Phosphorus Ligand and Corresponding Conducting Metallopolymers

“…They also showed redox attenuated metal-ligand interactions by monitoring with UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry for the first time without the incorporation of a reporter ligand. [39]…”

“…The IR stretching frequency was decreased by 9 cm −1 upon oxidation of the polymer film thus indicating that PtC σ‐bond was weakened due to the withdrawal of electrons from the conducting polymer backbone. They also showed redox attenuated metal–ligand interactions by monitoring with UV–vis spectroelectrochemistry for the first time without the incorporation of a reporter ligand …”

“…Electropolymerization is convenient for the bithiophene (BT) or EDOT groups and it is preferred due to the fact that there is no need to purify the polymer that is formed at the anode and there are no by‐products. After polymerization, the abstraction of electrons from the polymer backbone by electrochemical techniques resulted in a p‐doped (or positively charged) semiconductor for such systems . Conduction in the polymer backbone may cause the metal centers to change in effective charge or may even be in the oxidation state of metal centers.…”

“…After polymerization, the abstraction of electrons from the polymer backbone by electrochemical techniques resulted in a p-doped (or positively charged) semiconductor for such systems. [1,2,39,[53][54][55] Conduction in the polymer backbone may cause the metal centers to change in effective charge or may even be in the oxidation state of metal centers. This should result in small-molecule release due to the lack of electrons for the π-backdonation to the metal center (Figure 2).…”

Metal‐containing Polymers via Electropolymerization

“…With respect to catalytic applications and optoelectronic materials, transition metal complexes featuring strongly electron‐donating ligands, namely cyclometalating ligands60 and N ‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs),61 have gained more and more interest. A cyclometalated platinum(II) complex was electropolymerized by Holliday and co‐workers to form the conducting type‐II polymer 8 ( Figure ) 62. Cowley and co‐workers integrated imidazolylidene complexes of gold(I), silver(I), and iridium(I) in the electrochemically prepared polymers 9 exhibiting electrochromism 63…”
