The cyclopalladation of the 4-aryl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazoles 1a-c with palladium acetate in acetic acid afforded the novel dimeric complexes 2a-c in good yields. These were then converted into the monomeric pyridine-, chloro-coordinated cyclometallated complexes 3a-c through reaction with lithium chloride in acetone and then pyridine in dichloromethane. All complexes were fully characterized by means of NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The X-ray structure of complex 2c revealed that it presents transoid geometry, whereas the X-ray structure of 3c shows that the pyridine ligand and the thiazole ring are mutually trans. Photophysical properties were investigated by means of UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence emission in solution. Solid-state diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectra (DRUV) were also applied in order to better characterize the complexes photophysics in the solid state. All complexes present intense absorption at around 300 nm (lambda(1)) via (LC)-L-1 transitions located in BTD ligands, and additional low energy absorption bands, higher than 450 nm (lambda(2)) of (MLCT)-M-1 character. The complexes are fluorescent in solution at room temperature, where two emission bands could be observed, a high energy band (excitation @ lambda(1)) ascribed to the ligand emission and an additional red shifted low intense band (excitation @ lambda(2)) due to the complex emission.
