Transition metal compounds are well documented to have diverse applications such as in catalysis, light-emitting materials and therapeutics. In the areas of photocatalysis and photodynamic therapy, metal compounds of heavy transition metals are highly sought after because they can give rise to triplet excited states upon photoexcitation. The long lifetimes (more than 1 μs) of the triplet states of transition metal compounds allow for bimolecular reactions/processes such as energy transfer and/or electron transfer to occur. Reactions of triplet excited states of luminescent metal compounds with oxygen in cells may generate reactive oxygen species and/or induce damage to DNA, leading to cell death. This article recaps the recent findings on photochemical and phototoxic properties of luminescent platinum(II) and gold(III) compounds both from the literature and experimental results from our group.

A new trinuclear mercury(ii) complex of 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene [(MeHgC≡C)3(1,3,5-C6H3)] 1 was prepared in good yield by Hagihara’s dehydrohalogenation reaction of HgMeCl with [(HC≡C)3(1,3,5-C6H3)] under ambient conditions. This trimercury triacetylide complex’s structure was confirmed by common spectroscopic techniques and its photophysical properties were examined and compared with the isolobal gold(i) congener [{(PPh3)AuC≡C}3(1,3,5-C6H3)] 2. Our investigations indicate that the organic triplet emissions can be harvested by the heavy-atom effect of mercury which enables efficient intersystem crossing from the S1 singlet excited state to the T1 triplet excited state. The influence of Hg and Au centres on the phosphorescence efficiency and evolution of the lowest electronic singlet and triplet excited states is critically characterized. Both complexes 1 and 2 possess high-energy triplet states of 2.77–2.82 eV, in which the order of intersystem crossing rate follows the order Au > Hg.
