Solvent-induced lone pair activity tuning and vapoluminescence in a Pt2Pb cluster

We report a novel cluster, [{Pt(C6F5)(bzq)}2Pb(Spy)2] 1, that displays reversible vapoluminescence to specific organic vapours; this behaviour can be related to the stereochemical activity of the lone pair around the Pb(II) in the ground state and to the distinct distortion of the coordination envir...

Description
Summary:We report a novel cluster, [{Pt(C6F5)(bzq)}2Pb(Spy)2] 1, that displays reversible vapoluminescence to specific organic vapours; this behaviour can be related to the stereochemical activity of the lone pair around the Pb(II) in the ground state and to the distinct distortion of the coordination environment (1 and 1-solvent) upon photoexcitation.
