Abstract:
Symmetric trans-bis(alkynyl)bis(phosphine) PtII complexes based on the 2-phenylbenzothiazole (pbt) unit [trans-Pt(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-pbt)2L2] [L = PPh31, PEt32, 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) 3] and the mixed alkynyl-cyanide anionic complex (NBu4)2[trans-Pt(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-pbt)2(CN)2] (4) were synthesized. The complexes have been fully characterized including X-ray crystallography for 2 and 4. All complexes display long-lived emission with moderate quantum yields (ϕ 6.8-22.6%) in doped PMMA films at 298 K and complex 4 is also emissive in DMSO fluid and in rigid media (solid, glass at 77 K). Complex 4 displays a negative solvatochromic behavior. Absorption and emission energies have been analyzed by means of linear solvation energy based on Kamlet-Taft solvatochromism parameters and the Gutmann's acceptor numbers. The study indicates that solvatochromism is due to the contribution of solvent-to-cyanide hydrogen bonding and increased solvent dipolarity-polarizability. TD and TD-DFT calculations were performed on the ground and excited states of two different conformers of 2 and 4 to provide insight into the structural, electronic and optical properties of these systems.

Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
