Synthesis of a platinacycle: determination of the structure and examination of the photophysical properties based on DFT calculations

Abstract

Platinum-containing macrocycles (platinacycles) have gained attention due to their unique photoelectric properties. In the present study, a novel conjugated platinacycle was synthesized by the dehydrochlorination coupling reaction of a bipyridine...

Sintering of Platinum-Containing Conjugated Polymers: Gas Adsorption and Catalysis of the Formed Pt–Carbon Composites

“…We have reported a series of Pt-containing complexes and poly­(aryleneethynylene)­s, some of which adopt chirally regulated secondary structures. − Manners and co-workers synthesized metal nanoparticles by sintering poly­(arylene­ethynylene)­s with Pt complex moieties in the main chain tethering ferrocene moieties . Thus, Pt-containing π-conjugated polymers are expected to serve as precursors of Pt–carbon composites.…”
