Due to the coordination-unsaturation feature of d8 and d10 transition metals, their unique electronic structures and easy formation of metal-metal bonds make them exhibit special photophysical and photochemical properties. The optical properties of luminescent molecules can be regulated through host-guest interactions. In order to further explore the effect of host-guest interaction on the optical properties of d8 and d10 transition metal complexes, the member with the largest cavity in the macrocyclic family of cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n], n=5~8, 10)-CB[10] was selected as host. The changes in photophysical properties of such water-soluble planar transition metal complexes after entering the host cavity were studied by means of UV/Vis, fluorescence, 1H NMR and mass spectra. The results show that the cavity of CB[10] can accommodate multiple Pt(II) complex molecules. By enhancing the π-π interaction between guest molecules in the cavity of CB[10], the distance between metal atoms was shortened, leading the formation of metal-metal interactions in the water phase. Encapsulation of Ir(III) complex in CB[10] causes the formation of excimer. In addition, strong metal-metal interactions between Rh(I) complex molecules were weakened after the guest went into CB[10], which should be attributed to the formation of 1:1 host-guest complex. The introduction of host-guest chemistry in regulating photophysical properties of d8 and d10 metal complexes would further expand the application of transition metal complexes in a wider range of fields.
