C^N*N cyclometalated platinum(II)L complexes with functionalized acetylide ligands were prepared (L=phenyl, pyrenyl or naphthalimide acetylides). The absorption of the pyrene and naphthalimide derived Pt(II) complexes in the visible region of the spectrum was enhanced relative to the phenylethenyl substituted model complex. Long-lived deep-red emissions were observed for the pyrene (83.7μs) and naphthalimide (135.7μs) derived Pt(II) complexes and compared to the phenylethenyl substituted model complex (9.2μs). Room temperature and 77K phosphorescence, time-resolved transient absorption and theoretical calculations indicated intraligand triplet excited states for the complexes. The photophysical properties of the complexes were fully rationalized by density functional theory calculations. The complexes were used as triplet photosensitizers for triplet–triplet annihilation based upconversion. Upconversion quantum yields up to 19.5% were observed. These results are useful for design of visible light-harvesting transition metal complexes that shows long-lived triplet excited states.
