Luminescent Zn Halide Complexes with 2-(2-Aminophenyl)benzothiazole Derivatives

We report a comparative study of coordination behaviour of 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (NH<sub>2</sub>-<i>pbt</i>) and its phosphorus-containing derivative, α-aminophosphine oxide (PCNH-<i>pbt</i>), towards zinc halides. The corresponding coordination compounds...

description We report a comparative study of coordination behaviour of 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (NH<sub>2</sub>-<i>pbt</i>) and its phosphorus-containing derivative, α-aminophosphine oxide (PCNH-<i>pbt</i>), towards zinc halides. The corresponding coordination compounds [Zn(L)<sub>2</sub>Hal<sub>2</sub>] (L = PCNH-<i>pbt</i>, Hal = Cl, <b>1</b> and Hal = Br, <b>2</b>) and [Zn(L’)Hal<sub>2</sub>] (L’ = NH<sub>2</sub>-<i>pbt,</i> Hal = Cl, <b>3</b> and Hal = Br, <b>4</b>) were obtained as single phases. As evidenced by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, L’ ligand coordinates to Zn in a chelate manner via two N atoms. Despite a similar coordination mode in complexes <b>3</b> and <b>4</b>, the spatial geometry of the ligand differs notably, which implies a relatively high flexibility of NH<sub>2</sub>-<i>pbt</i>. The L ligand exhibits another coordination mode, binding with Zn only via the oxygen of the P=O group. The differences in the structures of NH<sub>2</sub>-<i>pbt</i>, <b>3</b> and <b>4</b>, and their counterparts, PCNH-<i>pbt</i>, <b>1</b> and <b>2,</b> induce differences in their solid-state photoluminescence properties. The former group of the compounds exhibits conventional single-band emission, while the latter group reveals two bands. The minor band at 450 nm is ascribed to a radiative transition for the regular amine species, while the major band at 520–550 nm can be associated either with the proton-transferred imine species (ESIPT mechanism) or with a charge transfer state (TICT) with a different geometry.
