Abstract

A series of platinum(II) di-yne complexes with the general formula [PhPt(PR₃)₂-C≡C-X-C≡C-Pt(PR₃) ₂Ph] where R = Et, ⁿBu and X = a range of extended hetero-aromatic spacer groups, have been prepared by the coupling reaction between two molar equivalents of [PhPt(PR₃)₂Cl] and one molar equivalent of the terminal dialkyne, HC≡C-X-C≡CH, in the presence of CuI catalyst. The complexes have been characterised by IR, NMR and optical spectroscopy. These materials, which are precursors to related platinum(II) poly-yne polymers, have been specifically designed to be incorporated into metal-molecule-metal junctions in nanoelectronic devices.
