Popis: International audience; A novel facile synthetic route to the metal-template assembly of a tetrapyrrollic framework from tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and tricyanovinylbenzene (TCNVB) structural units through reaction of TCNE and TCNVB with metal -sandwich complexes has been developed. The reactions occur under extremely mild conditions, the porphyrazine macrocycles being assembled in high yield from TCNE and TCNVB building-blocks by VO2+ or Yb3+-template synthesis. The redox behaviour of the novel complexes has been investigated. The vanadyl octacyanoporphyrazine complex was found to be a rare example of a highly-absorbing dye combining significant electron-acceptor properties with a band gap unusually narrow for an organic semiconductor (ca. 1.1 eV). The preparation is described of a novel highly emissive ytterbium complex with a proposed unusual structure obtained by reaction of TCNVB with bis(indenyl)ytterbium(II) in THF. The analytical, spectral and electrochemical investigations of the obtained ytterbium complex indicate it to be a binuclear adduct with Yb(TCNVB)3 species in which a single doubly-reduced TCNVB molecule bridges two Yb3+ cations. The formation of a disordered polynuclear coordination polymer network including a macrocyclic structure and metal cations bridged through the nitrile nitrogen atoms is proposed. The complex is readily soluble and is compatible with a variety of polymeric matrices giving doped polymeric glasses and films which are highly luminescent in the biologically relevant optical window covering the visible and near-infrared (NIR) range (640–1000 nm). In addition, doped polymeric glasses and films highly emissive at the telecommunication wavelength (1540 nm), including a composition consisting of the novel ytterbium complex and an equimolar ratio of the novel ytterbium complex and a per se non-luminescent erbium chelate, have been obtained. The complex is found to be an extraordinarily strong sensitizer of NIR Er3+ emission.
