Multifunctional bisalkynylplatinum(II) bipyridine complexes with rhodamine-like ligands featuring near-infrared phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Sep 19;59(75):11272-11275. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03775d.

Abstract

A series of platinum(II) bipyridine complexes with two rhodamine-like alkynyl (Rhodyne) ligands were developed to show chemo-induced "ON-OFF" switching capabilities with exceptional near-infrared phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence. This study contributes to the design of versatile photosensitizers with multiple functionalities, including metal ion and biomolecule sensing, photodynamic therapy, and optoelectronics.
