Enhancement of the phosphorescence of organic luminophores upon interaction with a mercury trifunctional Lewis acid. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The interaction of the trinuclear mercury(II) complex [(o-C(6)F(4)Hg)(3)] (1) and pyrene leads to the formation of the 1:1 adduct 1.pyrene. The crystal structure of this adduct reveals the existence of supramolecular stacks in which molecules of 1 and molecules of pyrene alternate along the infinite chains. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements indicate the occurrence of a heavy atom effect which results in red, green, and blue (RGB) phosphorescent emissions for 1.pyrene, 1.naphthalene, and 1.biphenyl, respectively.
