Platinum(II) diimine complexes with naphthalimide substituted fluorenylacetylide ligands are synthesized and characterized. The complexes exhibit long-lived (3)ILCT or (3)ILCT/(3)MLCT/(3)LLCT excited states (τ = ~20-30 μs) and broadband triplet transient absorption in the visible-NIR region. Nonlinear transmission experiments at 532 nm demonstrate that these complexes are efficient nonlinear ab...

Main-chain organometallic polymers were synthesized from bimetallic iron(ii) complexes containing a ditopic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand [(cp)(CO)LFe(NHC approximately NHC)Fe(cp)(CO)L]X(2) (where NHC approximately NHC represents a bridging dicarbene ligand, L = I(-) or CO). Addition of a diimine ligand such as pyrazine or 4,4'-bipyridine, interconnected these bimetallic complexes and gav...

A series of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles have been prepared in high yields while respecting the stringent Click criteria. In these reactions, highly stable pre-formed complexes bearing diimine ligands were used.

Mn(diimine)(CO)3X (X = halide) complexes are critical components of chromophores, photo- and electrocatalysts, photoactive CO-releasing molecules (photoCORMs). While these entities have been incorporated into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a detailed...

Luminescence properties of a family of newly synthesized copper(i) complexes bearing 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives and 1,2-bis[bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphino]ethane (dfppe), [Cu(diimine)(dfppe)]PF6, were investigated. The quantum yield and the lifetime of the emission of [Cu(6dmbpy)(dfppe)]PF6 (6dmbpy = 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) in the solid state under argon (Φ = 9%, τ = 16, 180 μs), which...

Pd complexes with diimine ligands promoted the controlled cyclopolymerization of 1,6-dienes and 1,6,11-trienes to afford polymers containing 1,2-trans-cyclopentane groups with well-regulated stereochemistry. The polymerization proceeded with quantitative cyclization of the monomer, even under bulk conditions or in copolymerization reactions with ethylene and aolefins. The polymerization of mono...
