【 摘 要 】

Two series of bidentate polypyridine ligands, made of phenanthroline chelating subunits having substituted mono-and di-anthracenyl groups, and 1-methoxy-1-buten-3-yne at the 4 and 7-positions with the corresponding heteroleptic Ru(II) complex have been synthesized and characterized. The complex is formulated as [(Ru(L₁)(L₂)(NCS)₂)], (where L₁ = 4-(9-dianthracenyl-10-(2,3-dimethylacrylic acid)-7-(9-anthracenyl-10-(2,3-dimethylacrylic acid)-1,10-phenanthroline and L₂ = 4,7-bis(1-methoxy-1-buten-3-yne)-1,10-phenanthroline). The Ru(II) complex shows characteristic broad and intense metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) bands absorption and appreciable photoluminescence spanning the visible region. The ligands and complex were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, UV-Vis, photoluminescence and elemental analysis (see in supplementary materials). The anchoring groups in both ligands have allowed an extended delocalization of acceptor orbital of the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited state.
