Popis: | A series of Pt(II) complexes with tetradentate luminophores has been designed, synthesized, and deposited on coinage metal surfaces with the aim to produce highly planar self‐assembled monolayers. Low‐temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a significant initial nonplanarity for all complexes. A subsequent metal‐catalyzed separation of the nonplanar moiety at the bridging unit via the scission of a C−N bond is observed, leaving behind a largely planar core complex. The activation barrier of this bond scission process is found to depend strongly on the chemical nature of both bridging group and coordination plane, and to increase from Cu(111) through Ag(111) to Au(111). Metal‐catalyzed cleavage of a nonplanar moiety in Pt(II) complexes via the scission of a C−N bond leaves, which leaves behind a largely planar core complex, can be tuned by suitable molecular design. This method provides an alternative means of producing planar Pt(II) complexes, which can be difficult to synthesize by traditional solution processing, but are essential for molecular stacking in electroluminescent devices. |
