Abstract
The interaction of square-planar metal complexes through space is of fundamental interest and relevant for the potential cooperative catalysis of two metal complex sites. In order to elucidate gold/gold, gold/porphyrin, and porphyrin/porphyrin interactions in the formal oxidation states +III and +II (after reduction) and in the excited triplet state after light excitation, a Pacman bis(gold(III)) complex [Au2(DPD)][PF6]2 with square-planar face-to-face gold(porphyrin) moieties has been prepared and characterized. Absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and EPR spectroscopy on [Au2(DPD)]n+ and a mononuclear reference are complemented by DFT and TDDFT calculations.
