Abstract
The ground and excited states of mono- and di-nuclear terpyridyl Pt(II) complexes [Pt(trpy)CΞCH]+ (1) and [Pt(trpy)CΞCH]2+ (2) were explored by using the first principle based on a DFT method. The results show that the Pt-Pt bond length is obviously shortened in the excited state relative to that in the ground state and the wavelength of the lowest-energy absorption and emission for the dimer is red-shifted compared with the monomer. The origin of the excitation was attributed to the [dσ* (dδ*π*)] charge transfer transition. In addition, the calculations show that, for the complexes investigated in this work, the optimized geometries by the VWN (Vosko-Wilk-Nusair) functional and spectroscopic energy by the SAOP (statistical average of orbital potentials) functional are in agreement with the experimental values.
