Synthesis of Gold(III) Complexes with Bidentate Amino-Thiolate Ligands as Precursors of Novel Bifunctional Acyclic Diaminocarbenes.

ABSTRACT: Two neutral bis(pentafluorophenyl)thiolate gold(III) complexes with the unsymmetrical S^N ligands 2-aminothiophenol or cysteamine have been synthesized and their reactivity has been studied. Homo- and heterodinuclear compounds were obtained by their coordination to gold(I) or silver(I) derivatives through the sulfur atom. Interestingly, a tetranuclear derivative bearing short gold(I)···gold(I) and the more unusual gold(I)···gold(III) interactions has been prepared. These amino-thiolate derivatives can be used as precursors for the synthesis of novel gold(III) acyclic diaminocarbene complexes by reaction with isocyanides CNR. The nucleophilic attack of the amino group to isocyanide molecules affords the synthesis of unprecedented bidentate C^S acyclic diaminocarbene ligands. All of the complexes are air- and moisture-stable at room temperature and have been spectroscopically and structurally characterized.

Project description:The photophysical properties of a series of gold(i) [LAu(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)] (L = PCy3 (1a-4a), RNC (5a), NHC (6a)) and gold(iii) complexes [Au(C^N^C)(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)] (1b-4b) bearing heterocyclic arylacetylide ligands with narrow band-gap are compared. The luminescence of both series are derived from an intraligand transition localized on the arylacetylide ligand (ππ*(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)) but 1a-3a displayed prompt fluorescence (τ PF = 2.7-12.0 ns) while 1b-3b showed mainly phosphorescence (τ Ph = 104-205 μs). The experimentally determined intersystem crossing (ISC) rate constants (k ISC) are on the order of 106 to 108 s-1 for the gold(i) series (1a-3a) but 1010 to 1011 s-1 for the gold(iii) analogues (1b-3b). DFT/TDDFT calculations have been performed to help understand the difference in the k ISC between the two series of complexes. Owing to the different oxidation states of the gold ion, the Au(i) complexes have linear coordination geometry while the Au(iii) complexes are square planar. It was found from DFT/TDDFT calculations that due to this difference in coordination geometries, the energy gap between the singlet and triplet excited states (ΔE ST) with effective spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for Au(i) systems is much larger than that for the Au(iii) counterparts, thus resulting in the poor ISC efficiency for the former. Time-resolved spectroscopies revealed a minor contribution (<2.9%) of a long-lived delayed fluorescence (DF) (τ DF = 4.6-12.5 μs) to the total fluorescence in 1a-3a. Attempts have been made to elucidate the mechanism for the origins of the DF: the dependence of the DF intensity with the power of excitation light reveals that triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) is the most probable mechanism for the DF of 1a while germinate electron-hole pair (GP) recombination accounts for the DF of 2a in 77 K glassy solution (MeOH/EtOH = 4 : 1). Both 4a and 4b contain a BODIPY moiety at the acetylide ligand and display only 1IL(ππ*) fluorescence with negligible phosphorescence being observed. Computational analyses attributed this observation to the lack of low-lying triplet excited states that could have effective SOC with the S1 excited state.
