Abstract

The preparation of multidimensional nano- and micro structures, in particular suprastructures with well-defined morphology and bright emissions, is a challenging task in supramolecular assembly. For this purpose, a new type of amphiphilic diplatinum complexes is presented as an excellent building block to assemble into highly phosphorescent nanofibers by supramolecular Pt⋯Pt interactions. These organoplatinum supramolecular fibers are further used as a pre-organized monomer reservior for the metal ion-triggered post-transformation into crystalline nanoneedles, nanorods, nanobunches, microplates, and microflowers with controllable morphology and bright phosphorescence. A reverse transformation of the obtained nanorods into nanofibers is demonstrated with the aid of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid. In contrast, the direct treatment of diplatinum complexes with different metal ions fails to give well-defined nano and microstructures, suggestive of the pre-organized role of nanofibers for the morphological transformation. Preliminary applications of these nano- and suprastructures in sensing temperature and organic vapours by emission signal changes are demonstrated. In contrast to the conventional hierarchical assembly, the pre-organized monomer-reservoir strategy disclosed in this study offers a versatile method for the synthesis of organic nano and suprastructures with multidimensional morphology and controllable emission properties.
