Abstract:

A soluble PtII-acetylide polymer 6 was prepared in a supramolecular polymerization of a PtII-chloro precursor complex 5, which represents a self-complementary AB-type monomer. This new type of polymer combines the structural features of the common polyplatinynes and cationic PtII-acetylide complexes. Though the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the material still need to be advanced, a versatile and straightforward method for the preparation of soluble, cationic PtII-acetylide polymers with phosphorescent behavior is offered.
