synthesis and characterization of a new pyrazine-based ditopic
organoplatinum(II) complex having a bite angle of 180° is reported.
The facile and efficient syntheses are described of three discrete
neutral Fe(II)/Pt(II) heterobimetallic SCCs with Pt(II) acceptor clips
of different binding angles, 0, 120, and 180°. These new SCCs
were characterized by multinuclear NMR and mass spectrometry. Electrochemical
response of these ferrocene containing self-assembled ensembles was
studied using cyclic voltammetry. The diplatinum acceptor organometallic
clips significantly quench the fluorescence of highly emitting carbon
quantum dots (CD), while the self-assembled macrocycles tend to nullify
the quenching effect of the organometallic clips. Interestingly, the
inefficient quenching of CD fluorescence by these SCCs was found to
be directly related to the angular disposition of the binding sites
in the Pt(II) based organometallic clips.
