摘要：We have synthesized five novel cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes (aryl-ppy)Pt(acac) (ppy = 2-phenyl pyridine, aryl N-butyl naphthalimide (NI) ethynylene for Pt-1, N-butyl naphthalimide (NI)-CH(2) CO for Pt-2, 4-cyanophenyl CH(2) CO for Pt-3, naphthal ethynylene for Pt-4 and naphthal-diketo for Pt-5). For the first time, pi-conjugation of the ppy ligands was extended via the C  C bond. Deep red/near IR emission (638 nm-700 nm) was observed for the complex containing naphthalimide ethynylene subunit (Pt-1), whereas the close analogue Pt-2 (in which the linker between the NI and the ppy subunit is a -CH(2)CO- group) shows a relatively blue-shifted emission (540 nm-570 nm) but much longer luminescent lifetime (tau = 25.5 mu s) than Pt-1 (tau = 6.6 mu s). Simultaneous fluorescence/phosphorescence emissions were observed for Pt-1 and Pt-2, but other complexes show sole phosphorescent emission. The red-shifted phosphorescence of the complexes compared to the model complex ppyPt(acac) (486 nm) was attributed to either the significant electron-sink effect of the NI fragment (Pt-1) (for which the electron withdrawing effect is stronger than the previously reported fluoren-9-one), or the extended pi-conjugation of the ppy ligand (via C  C bond) (e. g. Pt-4). The substantial tuning of the emission color and the luminescent lifetimes (0.86 mu s-25.5 mu s) of the complexes were rationalized by theoretical calculations (DFT/TDDFT), i.e. the emissive triplet excited states were assigned as the normal (3)MLCT state (give smaller tau values) or the novel ligand-localized (3)IL emissive state (give larger tau values). With tuning the luminescent lifetimes, the luminescent O(2) sensitivity of the complexes was improved by 117-fold (Stern-Volmer quenching constants K(SV) = 0.234 Torr(-1) for Pt-2 vs. K(SV) = 0.002 Torr(-1) for Pt-5).
