Abstract:
PtII complexes have attracted a great deal of interest due to their rich phosphorescent properties. However, these square-planar PtII complexes are far more likely to encounter the problems of lack of metal-induced chirality and emission "aggregation-caused quenching". Herein, soft-bridged binuclear PtII complexes bearing metal-induced planar chirality were synthesized and characterized. These soft bridging ligands with smaller conjugated system would help to not only improve solubility for synthesis and enantioseparation but also introduce point chirality from amino acid for highly efficient diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, the intramolecular Pt-Pt distances could be well regulated by soft bridging ligands, and consequently the phosphorescence quantum yield up to 100 % could be achieved by shortening intramolecular Pt-Pt distance for first time. These complexes can be used as emitters in highly efficient solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
