Bipyridyl Pt(II) Bisstilbenylacetylide: Synthesis, Photophysics, and Nonlinear Transmission Zhongjing Li Advisor: Professor Wenfang Sun Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry North Dakota State University
Research Background • Intense interest in Pt(II) complexes • Unique photophysical properties • OLED, DNA intercalator, solar cells, photocatalysis, nonlinear optical materials • Pt(II) diiminebis(arylacetylide) complexes • Metal-to-ligand charge-transfer emissive state • HOMO and LUMO tuned by structure modification • Large σEX/σ0 in the visible region and large σTPA in the near-IR region Eisenberg, R.

Bipyridyl Pt(II) Bisstilbenylacetylide • Combine the two photon absorption of stilbene with the excited-state absorption of platinum acetylide complex to obtain materials with broadband nonlinear absorption • Understand the effect of the substituent at the stilbene on the photophysics and nonlinear absorption of the complexes
Unpublished results Two-Photon Absorptions
Summary • The lowest-energy absorption bands and emission: • Dominated by the MLCT/LLCT with an admixture of the π,π* character in 3−5 • Dominated by the ligand-centered π,π* with the admixture of MLCT/LLCT characters in 1, 2, and 6 • Strong ns and fs TA in the visible spectral region from stilbene-localized π,π* state with the double bond in the trans geometry • Broad and extend to the near-IR region for 1 and 2: contribution from the acetylideligandcation • Strong RSA for the ns laser pulse at 532 nm, with complex 6 showing the strongest RSA
Future Research • Platinum complexed based on cyclometallated tri-dentate ligands • Iridium complexes
