Luminescent silver() complexes with pyrazole-tetraphenylethene ligands: turn-on fluorescence due to the coordination-driven rigidification and solvent-oriented structural transformation
A new tetrapyrazole-modified tetraphenylethene (TPE) ligand L was designed and found to display "turn-on" fluorescence when it combines with Ag + ions in dilute solution by restricting intramolecular rotation of TPE. A series of Ag complexes 1-7 were obtained, and they exhibit excellent fl...

Zusammenfassung: | A new tetrapyrazole-modified tetraphenylethene (TPE) ligand
L
was designed and found to display "turn-on" fluorescence when it combines with Ag
+
ions in dilute solution by restricting intramolecular rotation of TPE. A series of Ag complexes
1-7
were obtained, and they exhibit excellent fluorescence properties in the solid state. Compared with PF
6
−
, the silver complex with the CF
3
SO
3
−
anion can further enhance its fluorescence due to the transformation of its structure from Ag
2
L
(
2
) to Ag
4
L
2
(
3
). As zero-dimensional complexes,
1
and
3
have excellent piezochromic properties with a color change from blue to green. Furthermore, structural changes of
1
and
3
to the corresponding three-dimensional frameworks
4
and
5
occur upon immersing in ethanol. In addition,
1
can act as a potential fluorescent probe for sensing nitrile compounds.
A series of Ag complexes
1-7
with pyrazole-tetraphenylethene ligands were fabricated and their fluorescence and sensing properties were examined. |
