Two heterobimetallic Ru(II)âOs(II) complexes of compositions [(bpy)2MII(phen-Hbzim-tpy)Mâ²II(tpy-PhCH3)]4+, where MII = Ru and Mâ²II = Os (4) and MII = Os and Mâ²II = Ru (5), phen-Hbzim-tpy = 2-(4-(2,6-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyridine-4-yl)phenyl)-1H-imidazole[4,5][1,10]phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2â²-bipyridine, and tpy-PhCH3 = 4â²-(4-methylphenyl)-2,2â²:6â²,2â²â²-terpyridine have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ESI mass spectrometry, and 1H NMR and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The absorption spectra, redox behavior, and luminescence properties of the complexes have been thoroughly investigated and compared with that of monometallic model compounds [(bpy)2MII(phen-Hbzim-tpy)]2+ [MII = Ru (1) and MII = Os (2)] and [(phen-Hbzim-tpy)RuII(tpy-PhCH3)]2+ (3). The complexes display very intense, ligand-centered absorption bands in the UV and moderately intense MLCT bands in the visible regions. The bimetallic complexes show two successive one-electron reversible metal-centered oxidations, whereas the monometallic complexes display one-electron oxidation in the positive potential window. Steady state and time-resolved luminescence data at room temperature show that an efficient intramolecular electronic energy transfer takes place from the Ru-center to the Os-based component in both the heterometallic dyads in all the solvents. The complexes under investigation contain an imidazole NH proton which became appreciably acidic due to metal coordination and can be utilized for recognition of selective anions in solution either via hydrogen bonding interaction or by proton transfer. Accordingly, the anion binding properties of the two heterobimetallic complexes as well as parent bridging ligand, phen-Hbzim-tpy, have been studied in solutions using absorption, steady state and time-resolved luminescence spectral measurements. The metalloreceptors act as sensors for Fâ, CNâ and AcOâ ions. It is evident from sensing studies that in the presence of excess of selective anions, deprotonation of the imidazole NâH proton occurs in all cases.
两种异双金属 Ru(II)−Os(II) 配合物,其组成为 [(bpy)2MII(phen-Hbzim-tpy)M−II(tpy-PhCH3)]4+,其中 MII = Ru 且 M−II = Os (4) 且 MII = Os 且 M−II = Ru (5), phen-Hbzim-tpy = 2-(4-(2,6-二(吡啶-2-基)吡啶-4-基)苯基)- 1H-咪唑[4,5][1,10]菲咯啉,bpy = 2,2‐联吡啶,tpy-PhCH3 = 4‐(4-甲基苯基)-2,2‐:6‐2, 2-2-三联吡啶已被合成并通过元素分析、ESI 质谱、1H NMR 和紫外-可见吸收光谱进行表征。配合物的吸收光谱、氧化还原行为和发光性质已得到彻底研究,并与单金属模型化合物 [(bpy)2MII(phen-Hbzim-tpy)]2+ [MII = Ru (1) 和 MII = Os (2)] 和 [(phen-Hbzim-tpy)RuII(tpy-PhCH3)]2+ (3)。该复合物在紫外区显示出非常强烈的、以配体为中心的吸收带,在可见光区域显示出中等强度的 MLCT 吸收带。双金属配合物显示出两个连续的单电子可逆金属中心氧化,而单金属配合物在正电势窗口中显示出单电子氧化。室温下的稳态和时间分辨发光数据表明,在所有溶剂中,异金属二元组中都发生了从 Ru 中心到 Os 基组分的有效分子内电子能量转移。所研究的配合物含有咪唑 NH 质子,由于金属配位,该质子明显呈酸性,可用于通过氢键相互作用或质子转移识别溶液中的选择性阴离子。因此,使用吸收、稳态和时间分辨发光光谱测量在溶液中研究了两种异双金属配合物以及母体桥接配体 phen-Hbzim-tpy 的阴离子结合特性。金属感受器充当 F-、CN- 和 AcO- 离子的传感器。传感研究表明,在存在过量选择性阴离子的情况下,所有情况下都会发生咪唑 N-H 质子的去质子化。
