Dialkynyl Pt(II) complexes (1  -3 ) composed of pyridine and diphenylphosphine derivatives of triphenylamine (TPA) were synthesized, characterized, and their electronic properties were investigated. Although TPA is well known for electron-transfer processes in polymers and small molecules with potential as photovoltaic materials, pyridine and triphenylphosphine derivatives of TPA have not been studied in this area. These complexes were prepared to study the effect that structural changes of the electron-donor may have on its ability to transfer an electron to benzothiadiazole, a well-known electron acceptor. Here, we report the electronic properties of these new complexes.
