A Photochromic Platinum(II) Bis(alkynyl) Complex Containing a Versatile 5,6-Dithienyl-1,10-phenanthroline

Abstract

A luminescent diarylethene-functionalized platinum(II) diimine bis(alkynyl) complex displays interesting photochromic behavior with successful photosensitization by excitation into the 3MLCT/LLCT excited state of this complex to trigger photocyclization.
