A series of Pt(II) diimine complexes with varied alkyl chains on 2,2′- dipyridyl ligands (Pt-C1–Pt-C3) have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties and nonlinear absorption properties were elucidated using UV–vis absorption, emission and transient absorption spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and electrochemical experiments. It was found that increasing the alkyl chain led to regular changes in the photophysical properties of Pt-C1–Pt-C3. The original conjugated skeleton of the Pt(II) complexes were affected when the alkyl chain was introduced and extended. All complexes exhibited an obvious aggregation-induced phosphorescence emission (AIPE) in a mixed solution comprised of tetrahydrofuran/water. The formation of nanoparticles in the aggregated state induced these complexes to exhibit different excited state properties. When the water content increased, the emission intensity increases 3 ～ 13-flod and the excited state lifetime increased 98-flod due to the formation of Pt(II) complex nanoparticles. As a result, the optical power limiting (OPL) performance of these complexes was greatly improved. Based on the systematical investigation of nonlinear optical complexes in aggregated state, this work provided a theoretical basis for the development of new OPL materials. Furthermore, the Pt(II) complex nanoparticles will be more conducive to the potential application of OPL devices.

Redox-active metal-organic nanocages are of interest for many applications, but the development of cages with extensive redox activity is often hindered by their limited stability and solubility across multiple charge states. This report reveals that these properties can be tuned for cages with redox-active walls by incorporating additional redox activity into the linkers. In particular, new +12 charged triangular nanoprisms 1a,b were formed from three electroactive tetrakis(3-pyridyl)porphyrin walls linked by six [(TMEDA)Pt]2+ (for 1a) or [(2,2′-bipy)Pt]2+ (for 1b) vertices, the latter of which are also electroactive. Thus, 1b exhibits extensive redox activity, consisting of two porphyrin-centered (x3) and two 2,2′-bipy-centered (x6) reductions that provide reversible access to +12, +9, +3, 0, and -6 charge states, whereas 1a undergoes only two, porphyrin-centered (x3) reversible reductions. Comparisons of 1a and 1b (and monomeric control compounds) by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry show that the redox-activity of the linkers in 1b lowers the second reduction potential of the porphyrins by 100 mV and improves the stability and solubility of this structure under highly reducing conditions (e.g., -2.25 V vs Fc+/0 in MeCN). These findings reveal new principles for controlling the properties of highly electroactive molecular nanostructures. Anion exchange rates (?103 s-1) were also probed, showing that the narrow apertures (≤3 ? van der Waals width) of 1a,b do not impede the loss/gain of PF6- anions during redox processes.

Formation of π-π stacked lamellar structure is important for high performance organic semiconductor materials. We previously demonstrated that perfluoroalkylation of aromatics and heteroaromatics was one of the strategies to design organic crystalline materials with π-π stacked lamellar structures while improving air stability as a result of the strong electron withdrawing ability of perfluoroalkyl substituents. Square-planar transition metal complexes with large π-conjugated ligands are also an important category of semiconductor materials. We have perfluoroalkylated square-planar transition metal complexes, leading to the formation of a π-π stacked lamellar crystal packing motif in the solid state. Here we report six crystal structures of Pd and Pt complexes with bis-perfluorobutylated catechol ligand as one of the two ligands that bonds to the metal centers. This structural design possesses similar molecular topology when compared to perfluoroalkylated aromatics and heteroaromatics we have reported previously, again, demonstrating the steering power of the perfluoroalkyl substituents in engineering organic and organometallic solid state materials.
