Tuning of Supramolecular Architectures of l-Valine-Containing Dicyanoplatinum(II) 2,2′-Bipyridine Complexes by Metal-Metal, π-π Stacking, and Hydrogen-Bonding Interactions

Zusammenfassung:A series of newly synthesized dicyanoplatinum(II) 2,2′‐bipyridine complexes exhibits self‐assembly properties in solution after the incorporation of the l‐valine amino units appended with various hydrophobic motifs. These l‐valine‐derived substituents were found to have critical control over the aggregation behaviors of the complexes in the solution state. On one hand, one of the complexes was found to exhibit interesting circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signals at low temperature due to the formation of chiral spherical aggregates in the temperature‐dependent studies. On the other hand, systematic transformation from less uniform aggregates to well‐defined fibrous and rod‐like structures via Pt⋅⋅⋅Pt and π–π stacking interactions has also been observed in the mixed‐solvent studies. These changes were monitored by UV/Vis absorption, emission, circular dichroism (CD), and CPL spectroscopies, and morphologies were studied by electron microscopy. The self‐assembly properties of dicyanoplatinum(II) 2,2′‐bipyridine complexes in solution were investigated. Interesting spectroscopic and morphogical changes were observed upon changes in temperature and solvent compositions. This work represents the first systematic study of self‐assembly of dicyanoplatinum(II) 2,2′‐bipyridine complexes via Pt⋅⋅⋅Pt and π–π stacking interactions in the solution state.
