RESUMO
A chiral amino acid-containing polyacetylene, poly(4-ethynylbenzoyl-L-valine), was found to induce the aggregation and self-assembly of square-planar alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridyl complexes by electrostatic binding of the positively charged metal complexes to the anionic sites of the polyacetylene, as revealed by the appearance of new UV/Vis absorption and emission bands upon mixing under basic conditions. The induced complex self-assembly was found to be influenced by the polyacetylene and/or base concentration, and the effect of pH on the reversibility of the aggregate/monomer interconversion was also studied. The conformational changes of the polyacetylene were probed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, in which the chirality signal of the corresponding chain helicity in the presence of the base was enhanced and stabilized upon addition of the platinum(II) complexes. The induced complex aggregation was dependent on the structural properties of the polyacetylene, while the chirality of the polyacetylene was strongly influenced by the introduction of the complex.
RESUMO
A simple "proof-of-principle" concept for the monitoring of G-quadruplex formation and nuclease activity based on the unique self-assembly properties of a platinum(II) terpyridyl complex, has been demonstrated.

Two platinum(II) terpyridyl-based metallo-supramolecular triblock copolymers, [ClPt(tpy)PEO-PPO-PEO(tpy)PtCl](OTf)(2) (1) and [(Ph-C≡C)Pt(tpy)PEO-PPO-PEO(tpy)Pt(C≡C-Ph)](OTf)(2) (2), have been synthesized and characterized. The two complexes were found to aggregate with PtPt and/or π-π interactions at high temperature, which have not been reported so far, as revealed by UV/Vis absorption, emission and (1)H NMR study. This is due to the formation of spherical micelles driven by the PEO-PPO-PEO copolymers at temperatures above the critical micelle temperature, which was confirmed by TEM and DLS. The red-near-infrared (NIR) emission of the complexes can be switched on and off by at least ten cycles of heating and cooling, suggesting that the micellization was highly reversible.
RESUMO
An amphiphilic platinum(II)-containing diblock copolymer, with pH- and solvent-responsive micellization properties that could induce drastic UV-vis and emission spectral changes via modulation of Pt...Pt and pi-pi stacking interactions, has been demonstrated in both aqueous and organic media.
RESUMO
Polyelectrolytes carrying multiple negative charges were found to induce the aggregation and self-assembly of the positively charged platinum(II)-terpyridyl complexes in aqueous media. The aggregation and self-assembly of the complexes were driven by electrostatic interactions between the polymer and the complex, and by terpyridine ligand pi-pi stacking and platinum-platinum (metal-metal) interactions. As a result, remarkable UV/Vis and emission spectral changes were observed. The spectroscopic property changes were related to the structural properties of the metal complexes as well as the polyelectrolytes. The induced self-assembly of the platinum complexes was also strongly affected by the solution properties of the aqueous media, for example, the solution pH, ionic strength, and the percentage of organic solvent added.

Single-stranded nucleic acids, which carry multiple negative charges in an aqueous medium at near neutral pH, are found to induce the aggregation and self-assembly of the positively charged alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridyl complexes via electrostatic binding of the platinum complexes to the single-stranded nucleic acids, as revealed by the appearance of new UV-vis absorption and emission bands upon addition of single-stranded nucleic acids to a buffer solution of the complex. Changes in the intensity and pattern of circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy are also observed, many of which are consistent with the assembly of the platinum complexes into helical structures, via metal...metal and pi...pi stacking interactions. The induced spectroscopic property changes are found to depend on the structural properties of the nucleic acids.

A series of platinum(II) terpyridyl complexes [Pt(tpy)(C triple bond C-C triple bond CH)]X, 1-X (X=OTf-; PF6-; ClO4-; BF4-; BPh4-); [Pt(tpy)(C triple bond CC6H5)]X, 2-X (X=OTf-; PF6-; ClO4-; BF4-); [Pt(tpy)(C triple bond CC6H4OCH3-4)]OTf, 3-OTf, and [Pt(4'-CH3O-tpy)(C triple bond CC6H5)]OTf, 4-OTf (tpy=2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate) were synthesized and their photophysical properties determined. Electronic absorption and emission studies showed the formation of a new band upon increasing the diethyl ether content in an acetonitrile/diethyl ether mixture. This was ascribed to the formation of complex aggregates, the solution color of which is dependent on the nature of the anions. This indicates that counter ions play an important role in governing the degree of aggregation and the extent of interactions within these aggregates. Addition of various anions to solutions of 1-OTf and 1-PF6 produced anion-induced color changes upon solvent-induced aggregation, indicating that these complexes may serve as potential colorimetric anion probes.
