Abstract

We report herein a series of triarylboron-functionalized Pt(II) dinuclear complexes using a photoactive bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) bridging unit. The new Pt(II) complexes display phosphorescence at both room temperature and 77 K. Depending on the conditions under which crystals of the complexes were grown, either the cis- or trans-isomers could be obtained. The trans and cis isomers were found to undergo light-induced isomerization in solution with the trans isomer being the dominant species.
