Ces travaux de recherche présentés ici traitent de la synthèse d’une nouvelle classe d’assemblages de coordination de platine luminescents. En raison du savoir-faire du groupe, deux stratégies ont été suivies: (i) La première approche consiste en l’auto-assemblage d’une nouvelle famille de métallocages de platine de formule [Pt2L4][OTf]4 contenant divers ligands bidentés rigides. Les structures moléculaires de plusieurs complexes ont été déterminées. Les propriétés d'absorption et d'émission de ces assemblages ont été étudiées. De plus, la cage Pt2L4 (L=5-methoxy-1,3-bis(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)benzène) a montré des propriétés intéressantes en tant que molécule hôte envers une série de complexes métalliques plan-carrés agissant comme invités. Remarquablement on a déterminé la structure moléculaire d’un rare exemple dans lequel l’anion complexe dithiobenzène or(III) [Au(bdt)2]-1 a été encapsulé. Le comportement en solution a également été déterminé. De plus (ii) dans une seconde approche, on a décrit la synthèse d’un unique type d’assemblages de platine luminescents contenant un nouvel organométalloligand comportant une fonction chirale. L’organométalloligand permet un contrôle précis de la chiralité de l’assemblage au niveau supramoléculaire aussi bien que la modulation des interactions intermoléculaires Pt···Pt et π-π. En effet, plusieurs structures moléculaires analysées par diffraction des rayons X, ont été obtenues et confirment ce comportement. Les propriétés de luminescence de ces composés ont été étudiées en solution et à l’état solide. Elles ont montré que ces composés agissent en tant qu’intenses émetteurs rouges avec de bons rendements quantiques. De plus les propriétés chiroptiques de ces complexes de platine énantiopurs ont été étudiées aussi bien que leurs propriétés de luminescence par lumière polarisée. / The PhD research work presented herein deals with the synthesis of novel class of luminescent coordination platinum assemblies. Owing to the now-how of the group two strategies were followed: (i) The first approach consists in the self-assembly of novel family the platinum metallacages of the formula [Pt2L4][OTf]4 containing various rigid bidentate ligands. The molecular structures of several complexes were determined. The absorption and emission properties of these metallacages were investigated. Moreover the Pt2L4 (L = 5-methoxy-1,3-bis(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)benzène) showed interesting properties as host molecule towards a series of square planar metal complexes acting as guests. Remarkably the molecular structure of a rare host-guest system in which the anion dithiobenzene gold(III) complex [Au(bdt)2]-1 was encapsulated is determined. The solution behavior was also investigated. Moreover (ii) in a second approach the synthesis of a unique type of luminescent platinum assemblies containing a novel organometalloligand bearing chiral function is described. The organometalloligand allows a fine control of the chirality of the assemblies at the supramolecular level as well as the modulation of the intermolecular Pt···Pt and π-π interactions. Indeed several X-ray molecular structures were determined and confirmed this behavior. The luminescent properties of these compounds were investigated in solution and in solid state and showed that these compounds act as deep red emitters with good quantum yields. Furthermore the chiroptical properties of the enantiopure platinum complexes were investigated as well as their circular polarized luminescence (CPL) properties.

Construction of polynuclear metal assemblies from discrete 0D clusters to extend 3D networks, comprised of metal ions and bridging organic/inorganic ligands has attracted immense attention, owing to their intriguing network topologies and interesting properties. Proper ligand design and the appropriate choice of the metal center are of vital importance to the design of such polynuclear assemblies. One of the various attributes of polynuclear metal assemblies is magnetism. Magnetic materials can be constructed by incorporating magnetic moment carriers such as paramagnetic metals(V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) in presence of bridging ligands. Though, one-atom oxo/hydroxo and two-atom cyanide bridges were of popular choices due to their short distance for transmitting strong magnetic coupling between the paramagnetic metal centers, it has been shown that, three-atom bridging ligands like carboxylate and azide (N3 ) are well-fitted moieties for this purpose since they offer a variety of magnetic interactions depending on their versatile bridging modes. It has been well known that incorporation of anionic bridging ligand in presence of azide anion is a challenging task due to the competition between the 2nd anionic ligand with azide in self-assembly process. Incorporating both azide and carboxylate functionalities, a series of polymeric complexes has been synthesized and conversion of 0D discrete clusters to extended networks with the retention of basic core by fine tuning the ligands has been achieved. Single-crystal to single-crystal transformation has received considerable attention in crystal engineering since it is difficult for crystals to retain single crystallinity after removal of the guest at high temperature. Interestingly single-crystal to single-crystal transformation was observed at high temperature for Co(II) formate-formamide complex and change in dimensionality from 3D to 0D was observed at high temperature for Cr(III) formate-formamide complex. Multiferroic materials are those where both ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism coexist in the same phase. In general the transition metal d-electrons which are essential for magnetism reduce the tendency for off-center ferroelectric distortion. First tetrazole based miltiferroic coordination polymer of Co(II) metal ion in presence of azide has been successfully synthesized whereas its analogous Mn(II) complex showed different structural topology with interesting magnetic behavior. It has been also established in the present study, the important role played by hydrazine ligand to prevent oxidation of paramagnetic Co(II) to diamagnetic Co(III) system with the formation of a metal-inorganic assembly of Co(II) which exhibited spin-canted behavior.
