A Ratiometric Luminescent Switch Based on Platinum Complexes Tethered to a Crown‐Ether Scaffold

Abstract: A ratiometric chemosensor for potassium is reported, based on phosphorescent dinuclear cyclometalated Pt(II) complexes featuring a cis-crown ether as the cation-recognition unit. The metal complexes are blue luminescent in a non-aggregated state but become strongly orange emissive when in a close physical proximity, as is the case when the macrocycle is in the folded state. Upon binding of the cation, unfolding occurs, resulting in a pronounced change in the emission properties (e.g. emission wavelength), whic… Show more

However, upon cation addition and binding, the overall number of conformations decreased and the novel conformationally-constrained geometries favored the inverted ECD signal(s) leading to the observed enhancement ( Fig.…”

“…The cation can be removed from the macrocycle by addition of regular 18-crown-6, making this system a reversible ratiometric luminescent switch. 32 Perylene substituted macrocycles 1f were also used as convenient scaffolds to study targeted photophysical properties, such as symmetry breaking charge separation. The study was performed using stationary and ultrafast electronic spectroscopies combined with molecular dynamics simulations.…”
