摘要:
The structures and photophysical properties of anionic tungsten-benzylidyne complexes of the type [Na(L)][W(dropCPh)(OBut)(4)] ([Na(L)] 1; L = blank, 15-crown-5, crypt-2,2,2) are strongly dependent on the nature of the [Na(L)](+) ion. The structures of the I ions are qualitatively similar, consisting of square-pyramidal tungsten centers with short W=C bonds, but differ as a function of cation in the extent of their Na-OBut interactions, the geometries of their OBut ligands, and their W-O bond distances. The I ions exhibit long-lived luminescence (iota > 1 mus) in fluid solution and the solid state at room temperature. The emission lifetimes and energies are cation dependent even in polar solvents, indicating the presence of [Na(L)](+)/1(-) ion pairs in solution for some L. The emissive state is a spin triplet of either [pi(W=CPh)](1)[d(xy)](1) or [pi(W=CPh)](1)[pi*(W=CPh)](1) configuration. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
