Homo-metallic metal alkynyl complexes exhibit interesting catenane structures, but their hetero-metallic catenane counterparts are under-developed. In this work, we report rare examples of bimetallic Au-Cu (DtbpC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C ligand; Dtbp = 3,5-di--butylphenyl), Au-Ag ( BuC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C ligand), and Au-Cu, Au-Ag (C6-FluoC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C ligand; C6-Fluo = 9,9-dihexyl-9-fluoren-2-yl) complexes as well as a trimetallic Au-Ag-Cu (C6-FluoC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C ligand) complex, which feature [2]catenane structures. The formation of the [2]catenane structure is significantly affected by the coinage metal ion(s) and change of the structure of the alkynyl ligand. These hetero-metallic [2]catenane structures are strongly luminescent with tunable emission from 503 to 595 nm and values up to 0.83.
同金属的金属炔基配合物展现出有趣的索烃结构,但其异金属索烃对应物的研究尚不完善。在这项工作中,我们报道了双金属Au-Cu(DtbpC≡C配体;Dtbp = 3,5-二叔丁基苯基)、Au-Ag( BuC≡C配体)以及Au-Cu、Au-Ag(C6-FluoC≡C配体;C6-Fluo = 9,9-二己基-9-芴-2-基)配合物的罕见实例,还有一种三金属Au-Ag-Cu(C6-FluoC≡C配体)配合物,它们都具有[2]索烃结构。[2]索烃结构的形成受到货币金属离子和炔基配体结构变化的显著影响。这些异金属[2]索烃结构具有强烈的发光性,发射波长可在503至595 nm范围内调节,量子产率高达0.83。
