Synthesis, photophysical properties, and excited state dynamics of a platinum complex of tetracene imide disulfide†
Abstract
A platinum complex containing a tetracene dicarboxylic imide disulfide (TIDS) was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray analysis. Steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy for Pt-TIDS revealed its extended π-conjugated structure. Excited state studies characterized its triplet state with a lifetime of 0.18–0.28 μs.
