Supramolecular Self-assembly of Amphiphilic Alkynylplatinum(II) 2,6-Bis(N-alkylbenzimidazol-2′-yl)pyridine Complexes

Abstract

Alkynylplatinum(II) bzimpy complexes of trimethylammoniumbenzylethynyl ligand have been synthesized and characterized. Complexes with long alkyl chains have been found to exhibit interesting self-assembly properties in the acetonitrile solution. The amphiphilic nature of the complexes has led to the formation of nanorods, as revealed by electron microscopy experiments. Further increasing the polarity of the solvent media has given rise to the enhancement of low-energy emission.
