 Amber Shiveley is from Mt. Orab, Ohio and received her BS degree in Chemistry from Northern Kentucky University. Her research advisor is Prof. Connick. Amber is investigating the fluid solution photophysics of two platinum(II) diimine complexes, Pt(tmphen)(tdt) and Pt(phen)(bpa)2 (phen=1,10-phenanthroline; tmphen=3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-phen; tdt =1,2-toluenedithiolate; bpa =1-butyl-4-phenylacetylide). These compounds have been characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The complexes are luminescent in fluid solution. In the case of Pt(tmphen)(tdt), the emission lifetime is concentration dependent, corresponding to a self-quenching rate of 4.2 x 109 M-1s-1. The emission maximum for Pt(phen)(bpa)2 occurs at 612 nm. With increasing concentration a new feature grows in near 740 nm. She is planning on conducting steady-state and time-resolved emission experiments in the near future. |
