Abstract

Abstract A novel class of luminescent dialkynylgold (III) complexes containing various phenylpyridine and phenylisoquinoline-type bidentate ligands has been successfully synthesized and characterized. The structures of some of them have also been determined by X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical studies demonstrate the presence of a ligand- centered reduction originating from the cyclometalating C^ N ligand, whereas the first ...
