X Abstract

PMID: 19655715 Tetraarylazadipyrromethenes are Lewis basic, red-light absorbing dyes with optical properties conducive to sensing and therapeutic applications. Recently, transition metal complexes of these ligands have been described. Here, we report a series of three-coordinate Group 11 complexes of unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted tetraarylazadipyrromethenes. In each, two pyrrole nitrogens chelate a d10 metal ion; triphenyl- or triethylphosphine occupies a third coordination site. New complexes are characterized by multinuclear NMR, X-ray crystallography, optical absorption and emission spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Solid-state structures show trigonal planar geometries about the metal centers, and reveal pervasive intra- and intermolecular π-stacking interactions. Visible light absorption intensifies with metal binding, in some cases shifting to longer wavelengths. The complexes weakly luminesce in the red region; emission wavelengths and quantum yields are similar to those of free azadipyrromethenes. Methoxy-substitution on the ligand red-shifts optical features, whereas substitution of triethylphosphine for triphenylphosphine in the third coordination site has minimal structural or spectral consequences.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
