Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the design, synthesis and the photophysical characterisation of luminescent neutral platinum(II) compounds containing a tridentate chromophoric ligand and a monodentate ancillary moiety with different functionalities. Such complexes exhibited drastic changes to their photoluminescence properties upon self-assembly, triggered by the establishment of weak noncovalent p-p stacking and metallophilic interactions. It was demonstrated that these platinum(II) complexes can be covalently attached to silicon and gold substrates but also encapsulated into polymer particles. The self-assembly properties of amphiphilic platinum(II) complexes have also been intensively studied. Understanding the behaviour of one complex in a solvent mixture allowed further investigation into the supramolecular co-assembly of two different platinum(II) complexes. This approach leads to the formation of solvatochromic fibers with specific and reversible phototophysical properties. The investigated compounds and their assemblies were useful for the development of novel functional materials for sensing or stimuli-responsiveness applications.
