Popis: Three systematically functionalized 6-azolyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligands were prepared from reactions initiated by 6-cyano-2,2′-bipyridine. These ligands readily reacted with the metal alkyl reagents GaMe3 and InMe3 to afford the pentacoordinate complexes [(fpzbpy)MMe2] (1a, M = Ga; 1b, M = In), [(ftzbpy)MMe2] (2a, M = Ga; 2b, M = In), and [(N4bpy)MMe2] (3a, M = Ga; 3b, M = In), in which (fpzbpy)H, (ftzbpy)H, and (N4bpy)H denote 6-pyrazolyl-, 6-triazolyl-, and 6-tetrazolyl-substituted 2,2′-bipyridine, respectively. These complexes exhibited moderate blue-green emission ranging from 412 to 493 nm. On the other hand, treatment of the bidentate 2-pyridyl tetrazole ligand (pyN4)H with InMe3 afforded the bridged dimer [Me2In(pyN4)]2 (4). Calculation based on time-dependent density function theory (TDDFT) showed that the S1 state of complexes 1−3 is mainly attributed to an allowed intraligand π → π* electronic transition located at tridentate chelating moieties, together with a small contribution (
