Abstract:
The synthesis of stable helically chiral dinuclear Pd(II) diacetylide complexes exhibiting intramolecular Pd···Pd interactions in both fluid and solid states is reported, utilizing foldable bis(arylacetylide) as electron-donating ligands. A systematic investigation of the substitution effect of chiral oxazolinyl-type C^N^N moieties and foldable bis(arylacetylide) ligands, with and without alkoxy linker groups, on the molecular configuration and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties of the chiral dinuclear Pd(II) complexes has been conducted. The emission peak maximum was found to be tunable from 650 to 715 nm, and CPL dissymmetry factors (|glum|) up to 3.0 × 10-3 have been obtained. The metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MMLCT) nature of the phosphorescence was assigned through analysis of the photophysical properties and TDDFT calculations. Additionally, circularly polarized organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices employing the helically chiral Pd(II) complexes as phosphorescent emitters have been successfully fabricated, achieving a maximum |gEL| value of approximately 3.0 × 10-3.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
