The synthesis and incorporation of a versatile photochromic dithienylethene-containing diimine ligand, 2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazole, into platinum(II) bis-alkynyl system have been described. All the platinum(II) complexes have been successfully characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry as well as elemental analysis. One of the complexes has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their photochromic, photophysical and electrochemical properties have been studied. Upon photo-excitation, all the platinum(II) complexes exhibited reversible photochromism. Their photophysical and electrochemical behaviors were found to be tunable by various substituents on the ligands. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
