Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of phosphorescent cyclometalated platinum complexes.

TL;DR: The synthesis, electrochemistry, and photophysics of a series of square planar Pt(II) complexes are reported, with well-resolved vibronic fine structure observed in all of the emission spectra.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of facial and meridional tris-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes.

TL;DR: The synthesis, structures, electrochemistry, and photophysics of a series of facial (fac) and meridional (mer) tris-cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes are reported, and the HOMO levels are a mixture of Ir and ligand orbitals, while the LUMO is predominantly ligand-based.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blue and near-UV phosphorescence from iridium complexes with cyclometalated pyrazolyl or N-heterocyclic carbene ligands.

TL;DR: Crystallographic analysis reveals that the imidazolyl-carbene ligand has a stronger trans influence than pyrazolyl and, thus, imparts a greater ligand field strength in the triscyclometalated Ir complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of Linear Acetylenic Carbon: The "sp" Carbon Allotrope.

TL;DR: In the presence of end capping groups, laser-based synthetic techniques similar to those normally used to generate fullerenes, produce thermally stable acetylenic carbon species capped with trifluoromethyl or nitrile groups with chain lengths in excess of 300 carbon atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetic Control of Pt...Pt Separation and Photophysics of Binuclear Platinum Complexes

TL;DR: A new series of luminescent mu-pyrazolate-bridged cyclometalated platinum binuclear complexes having the formula CwedgeNPt(mu-pz')2PtCwedgeN (Cw edgeN = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridyl, pz' = pyrazolate) have been synthesized and characterized.
