Abstract

Mononuclear and dinuclear complexes with the formulae [M(DHB)NN)] (where MPd(II) or Pt(II); NN ≡ 2,2′-bipyridine (BPY), 2,2′-biquinoline (BIQ), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DDP) or 1,10-phenanthroline (PHEN); DHB is the dianion of 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) and [{M(BPY)}2(THB)] (where MPd(II) or Pt(II); BPY is 2,2′-bipyridine; THB is the tetraanion of 3,3,4,4-tetrahydroxybenzaldazine) photosensitize the oxidation of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinol (XH) in N,N-dimethyl-formamide (DMF) to give 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyloxy, a nitroxide free radical (XO). This photo-oxidation reaction involves singlet molecular oxygen (1O2) as an intermediate and its presence is confirmed by quenching studies using bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)nickel(II) (Ni(DDTC)2), a physical quencher of 1O2. The ability of the mononuclear complexes to photosensitize the above photo-oxidation reaction follows the order: [Pt(DHB)(PHEN)] > [Pt(DHB)(DPP)] > [Pt(DHB)(BIQ)] > [Pt(DHB)(BPY)] > [Pd(DHB)(DPP)] ⩾ [Pd(DHB)(PHEN)] > [Pd(DHB)(BIQ)] ⩾ [Pd(DHB)(BPY)]. Moreover, the dinuclear complexes, in comparison with the analogous mononuclear complexes, follow the order: [{Pt(BPY)}2(THB)] > [Pt(DHB)(BPY)] > [{Pd(BPY)}(DHB)] > [Pd(DHB)(BPY)]. These orders depend on the metal ion, the number of metal ions in the complex, the nature of the α-diimine ligand and the distortion from planar geometry of the metal complex.

      There is an ever-expanding range of suitable ligands that can be coordinated to square planar Pt(II) in a cyclometalating manner. The relative ease of design, and attempts at tuning the resultant physical properties of the complex, have led to cyclometalated platinum complexes being studied in photocatalysis [2], photooxidation (via the photogeneration of 1O2) [3], electroluminescent cells [4], luminescent bioimaging agents [5] and optical sensors [6]. Planar cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes have also recently been investigated with respect to the design of targeted agents for binding amyloid beta peptide [7], in the context of the inhibition of Zn and Cu peptide complex formation (cf. Alzheimer's disease).

      It is believed that the efficiencies of Os-6 and Os-7 can be further improved if a lower driving voltage can be achieved. Cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes have also attracted considerable attention in the context of their PHOLED application, as they have strong spin-orbital coupling at room temperature which result in highly phosphorescent emission [79–83]. However, as compared to Ir(III) complexes, cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes display relatively lower emission efficiency and longer phosphorescence lifetime which suffer from pronounced TTA and exhibit rapidly decreased emission efficiency at high current density [84–86].

      Phosphorescent cyclometalated platinum (II) complexes have attracted considerable interest in the context of their application in the fields of optical chemosensors [1–5], photocatalysts [6–8], solar energy conversion [9–11] and organic/polymer light-emitting diodes (OLEDs/PLEDs) [12–15].
