Abstract

A series of three Pt(II) complexes with a doubly cyclometalating terdentate ligand L1, L1H(2) = 3,6-bis(p-anizolyl)-2-carboranyl-pyridine, and diethyl sulfide (1), triphenylphosphine (2), and t-butylisonitrile (3) as ancillary ligands were synthesized. X-ray diffraction studies of 1 and 2 show a coordination of the L1 ligand in a C-N-C mode in which the bulky and rigid o-carborane fragment is cyclometalated via a C atom. Importantly, no close intermolecular Pt-Pt contacts occur with this ligand type. The new Pt(II) pincer complexes display very high luminescence quantum yields at decay times of several tens of mu s even in solution under ambient conditions. On the basis of the low-temperature (T = 1.3 K) emission decay behavior, the emission is assigned to a ligand centered triplet excited state (LC)-L-3 with small (MLCT)-M-1,3 admixtures. Because the phosphorescence is effectively quenched by molecular oxygen, optical sensors operating in a wide range of oxygen pressure can be developed. Owing to the very high luminescence quantum yields, the new materials might also become attractive as emitter materials for diverse optoelectronic applications.
