Switching of excited states in cyclometalated platinum complexes incorporating pyridyl-acetylide ligands (Pt–C
C–py): a combined experimental and theoretical study†‡
Abstract
This article presents the design of cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes incorporating pyridyl-appended acetylide C–py, acting either as sites for protonation or methylation reactions or as a host receptor for binding metal
