We prepared enantiomers of chiral Pt(II) complexes,
Pt(pppb)Cl and Pt(pppb)CN (pppbH = 1-pyridyl-3-(4,5-pinenopyridyl)benzene), and
measured their CPL (circularly polarized luminescence) spectra for excimer and
trimer emission. The contribution of pinene moiety to CPL was considerably low
for the pi-pi* emission of monomer but large for
MMLCT (metal-metal-to-ligand charge-transfer) of excimer and trimer which had
helical structure induced in face-to-face stacking fashion. The trimer CPL for
(+)-Pt(pppb)Cl was larger in intensity than excimer CPL, on the other hand,
that for (+)-Pt(pppb)CN was opposite in sign compared with the excimer CPL. We
concluded that the variation in the CPL spectra was accounted for the
difference in excited-state structure of aggregate between Pt(pppb)Cl and
Pt(pppb)CN. It was predicted by an aid of TD-DFT calculation that the dihedral
angle q(Cl-Pt-Pt-Cl) was 50 – 60° or 110 – 140° for Pt(pppb)Cl aggregates
and 160° for Pt(pppb)CN aggregates.
