Synthesis, photophysics and electrochemistry of a novel luminescent platinum(II) sulfido complex. Crystal structure of [Pt2(µ-S)(µ-dppm)(dppm)2]2+(dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2)
Abstract
The novel luminescent dimeric complex [Pt2(µ-S)(µ-dppm)(dppm)2]2+ has been isolated from the reaction of PtCl2, dppm (Ph2PCH2PPh2) and NaSH in the presence of triethylamine in MeCN; the crystal structure revealed dppm ligands displaying two different modes of co-ordination, bridging and chelating.
