Abstract

Heavy metal complexes that are phosphorescent at room temperature are becoming increasingly important in materials chemistry, principally due to their use in phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Their use in optical sensory schemes, however, has not been heavily explored. Homoleptic bis-cyclometalated Pt (II) complexes are known to undergo oxidative addition with appropriate electrophiles (principally alkyl halides) by ...
