Synthesis and photophysical properties of cyclometalated 4′-phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridyl Pt(II) chloride complexes with different aryl substituents

A series of 4′-phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridyl Pt(II) chloride complexes were synthesized and their photophysical and electrochemical properties were investigated. Their structure-property correlations and triplet transient absorptions properties could be potential utilized in rational design of optical functional materials.156
