Notes:
The absorption and emission spectra, emission lifetimes, luminescence quantum yields, and electrochemical behavior of the complexes Pd(Phpy)2, Pd(Thpy)2, and Pd(bhq)2 (Phpy-, Thpy-, and bhq-, and bhq- are the deprotonated forms of 2-phenylpyridine, 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine, and benzo[h] quinoline, respectively) have been studied, and the results obtained have been compared with those available for Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes containing the same ligands. The intense ligand-centered absorption bands below 340 nm are strongly perturbed by matalation, and the absorption features in the 340-450-nm region are likely to include contributions from formally metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions. The structured luminescence spectra observed at 77 K (lifetimes are 0.48, 0.28 and 2.6 ms for Pd(Phpy)2, Pd(Thpy)2, and Pd(bhq)2, respectively) have been assigned to transitions having mainly ligand-centered character, with an increasing metal-to-ligand charge-transfer contribution in going from Pd(bhq)2 to Pd(Phpy)2 and to Pd(Thpy)2. The complexes Pd(phpy)2 and Pd(thpy)2 show two reversible one-electron reduction waves, whereas reduction of Pd(bhq)2 is irreversible, as is the oxidation of the three complexes.
