A series of platinum (II) C^N^C complexes, [Pt(C^N^C) (L)] (HC^N^CH=2,6‐diphenylpyridine (dppy); L=Ph2PB15C5 (1, B15C5=benzo[15]crown‐5), Ph2PDMP (2, DMP=3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl), pyCOA15C5 (3, A15C5=aza[15]crown‐5), pyCON(CH2CH2OCH3)2 (4), pyCCB15C5 (5), pyCCDMP (6)) and terpyridyl complexes, [Pt(trpy)(L)](X)2 (trpy=2,2′:6′,2″‐terpyridine; L=Ph2PB15C5, X=OTf (7 a), PF6 (7 b); X=PF6, L=Ph2PDMP (8), pyCCB15C5 (9), and pyCCDMP (10)) have been successfully synthesized and characterized. The structures of 1, 3, and 7 a have been determined by X‐ray crystallography. Excitation of complexes 1–6 in EtOH/MeOH (4:1 v/v) glass gave high‐energy structured emission bands, assigned as derived from states of metal‐perturbed intraligand (IL) origin. At higher concentrations, complexes 3–6 each displayed an additional, structureless emission band at 600–615 nm, with complexes 5 and 6 showing an obvious increase in the intensity of this emission band when the concentration was increased further. In dichloromethane at room temperature, complexes 3–6 showed, in addition to the high‐energy emission at 490–505 nm, an extra, broad emission band at 620–625 nm when the concentration was increased. The emission origins of the low‐energy band in glass and in fluid solutions are suggested to be derived from the ground‐state oligomerization or aggregation process of the complexes. In the solid state at room temperature, complexes 1–6 each showed a broad, unstructured emission band at 560–600 nm, which was shifted to lower energy upon cooling to 77 K. On the other hand, the terpyridyl analogues 7–10 displayed intense vibronic‐structured intraligand (IL) emissions at 460–472 nm in butyronitrile glass at 77 K. Solid‐state samples of 9 and 10 displayed strong phosphorescence upon photoexcitation at 298 K and 77 K, tentatively assigned as derived from states of Pt(dπ)→π*(trpy) 3MLCT origin(MLCT=metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer). The ion‐binding properties of complexes 5 and 9 for Na+, Ba2+, and K+ ions have been studied by UV/Vis spectrophotometric methods, and confirmed by ESI mass spectrometric studies. The ion‐binding properties for Na+ ions have also been probed by 1H NMR experiments. For the same crown ether‐containing ligand and the same metal ions, the neutral cyclometalated complexes gave larger binding constants than the positively charged terpyridyl analogues.
