Resumo

Abstract A series of donor‐functionalized pyrylium salts have been prepared by classical condensation reactions which were further converted into the corresponding thienyl‐ and pyridyl‐substituted polydentate λ 3 ‐phosphinines by reaction with P(SiMe 3 ) 3 . Further chemical modification of these phosphorus heterocycles with Hg(OAc) 2 in the presence of methanol resulted in the formation of λ 5 ‐phosphinines. The photophysical properties of a selected series of thienyl‐ and pyridyl‐functionalized pyrylium salts, λ 3 ‐ and λ 5 ‐phosphinines, were investigated and the results compared and supported by theoretical calculations on the DFT level. Significant fluorescence was observed for the pyrylium salts and λ 5 ‐phosphinines. In contrast, the heteroaromatic substituted λ 3 ‐phosphinines show very little emission which is consistent with the low oscillator strength predicted by DFT calculations for this π→π* transition. Furthermore, all three classes of compounds show readily observable phosphorescence in solution, which was determined by time‐gated detection at low temperature.
