Abstract

Two new C,N,N-type ligands (HL ₂ and HL ₃), containing a C _phenyl, a N _pyridyl, and a N _imidazolyl donor, and their cycloplatinated complexes, [Pt(L ₂)Cl] (1), [Pt(L ₃)Cl] (2), [Pt(L ₂)(PPh ₃)] ⁺ (3) and [Pt(L ₃)(PPh ₃)] ⁺ (4), have been successfully synthesized and characterized. Spectroscopic and ³MLCT luminescent properties of these Pt(ii) cyclometalated complexes were found to be pH dependent. This was attributed to the protonation/deprotonation of the acidic 1-imidazolyl-NH moieties on the ligands. All the cycloplatinated complexes (both protonated and deprotonated forms) possessed two-photon excitability with two-photon absorption cross-sections ranging from 6.0 to 30.0 GM (protonated forms) and from 16.2 to 24.9 GM (deprotonated forms).
