Article: Reversible thermo-responsive luminescent metallo-supramolecular triblock copolymers based on platinum(II) terpyridyl chromophores with unusual aggregation behaviour and red-near-infrared (NIR) emission upon heating.

ABSTRACT: Two platinum(II) terpyridyl-based metallo-supramolecular triblock copolymers, [ClPt(tpy)PEO-PPO-PEO(tpy)PtCl](OTf)(2) (1) and [(Ph-C≡C)Pt(tpy)PEO-PPO-PEO(tpy)Pt(C≡C-Ph)](OTf)(2) (2), have been synthesized and characterized. The two complexes were found to aggregate with PtPt and/or π-π interactions at high temperature, which have not been reported so far, as revealed by UV/Vis absorption, emission and (1)H NMR study. This is due to the formation of spherical micelles driven by the PEO-PPO-PEO copolymers at temperatures above the critical micelle temperature, which was confirmed by TEM and DLS. The red-near-infrared (NIR) emission of the complexes can be switched on and off by at least ten cycles of heating and cooling, suggesting that the micellization was highly reversible.Dalton Transactions 08/2011; 40(45):12228-34. · 3.84 Impact Factor -
Article: Reversible pH- and solvent-responsive micelle-mediated self-assembly of platinum(II) terpyridyl-based metallo-supramolecular diblock copolymers.

ABSTRACT: An amphiphilic platinum(II)-containing diblock copolymer, with pH- and solvent-responsive micellization properties that could induce drastic UV-vis and emission spectral changes via modulation of Pt...Pt and pi-pi stacking interactions, has been demonstrated in both aqueous and organic media.Chemical Communications 11/2009; · 6.17 Impact Factor
