The yellow (1y) and orange (1o) crystalline polymorphs of [PtBr2(5,5â²-bis(CF3CH2OCH2)-2,2â²-bipyridine)] exhibit surprisingly short nearest neighbour Ptâ¯Pt separations of 3.526 Ã
and 3.590 Ã
, respectively, at 295 K. Both distances are much shorter than those found in structures of the unsubstituted [PtBr2(2,2â²-bipyridine)] analogue. Consistent with a linear chain structure in 1o and dimer formation in 1y, both solids exhibit emission spectra shifted to much longer wavelengths than that exhibited by the monomer in a low-temperature glass. Furthermore, the emission spectra of 1o and 1y shift to even longer wavelengths as the temperature decreases and the Ptâ¯Pt separations contract. Till now delocalized emission of this type has been considered to be restricted to [PtCl2(diimine)] systems and implausible in PtBr2-containing analogues for steric reasons. Ironically, in the system at hand the bulky 5,5â²-substituents apparently promote delocalization of the emission by forming a network of hydrogen-bonding-like CâHâ¯FâC interactions that help shape the packing.
在 295 K 下,[PtBr2(5,5â²-双(CF3CH2OCH2)-2,2â²-联
吡啶)]的黄色(1y)和橙色(1o)结晶多晶体的近邻
铂间距分别为 3.526 Ã 和 3.590 Ã。与 1o 中的线性链结构和 1y 中的二聚体形成相一致的是,这两种固体的发射光谱都偏移到了比低温
玻璃中的单体所显示的更长波长。此外,随着温度的降低和 Ptâ¯Pt 间距的收缩,1o 和 1y 的发射光谱会向更长的波长移动。迄今为止,人们一直认为这种类型的非局域发射仅限于 [PtCl2(二
亚胺)] 系统,而由于立体原因,在含 PtBr2 的类似物中是不可能发生的。具有讽刺意味的是,在本研究中,笨重的 5,5â²-取代基形成了一个类似于氢键的 CâHâ¯FâC 作用网络,有助于形成堆积,从而明显促进了发射的分散。
