Abstract

A new class of platinum(II) compounds, the 4,5-dimethyl-3-aryl-thiazole-2-ylidene platinum(II) acetylacetonato complexes, are described. Their efficient phosphorescent emission at room temperature makes them suitable for potential applications in organic light-emitting diodes. A new synthetic pathway that allows the preparation of a broad range of different N-arylthiazole-2-thiones and their subsequent conversion into the corresponding N-arylthiazolium perchlorate and hexafluorophosphate salts has been developed. Not only electron-rich (4-OMe, 4-Me, 3-Me) N-arylthiazoles but also electron-deficient ligands with a cyano or an ester group could be synthesized. From commercially available anilines N-arylthiazolium perchlorate and hexafluorophosphate salts were synthesized via ring-closure of in situ generated N-aryldithiocarbamate salts followed by a sulfur-oxidation/-substitution protocol to the air-stable carbene precursors. All reactions were performed in multigram scale in good yields. The synthesis of t...
