Synthesis and Optoelectronic Properties of a Novel Pt(IV)(C∧N∧C)(Cl) 2 (DMSO) Complex Cyclometalated by Tridentate Diphenylpyridine.

A novel tridentate-cyclometalating Pt(IV) complex, namely, Pt(IV)(C∧N∧C)(Cl) 2 (DMSO), is initially synthesized through a series of reactions using Pt(II) complexes. The optoelectronic properties of Pt(IV)(C∧N∧C)(Cl) 2 (DMSO) are fully studied by adequate characterizations.
