Abstract

The efficient synthesis and characterization of the trans -platinum complex (Ph 3 P) 2 Pt(C 25 H 13 N) by coupling the dialkyne 3,5-bis-(2-ethynyl-phenylethynyl)pyridine with cis- PtCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 is described. The X-ray crystal structure shows that the platinum center is essentially square planar with the two phosphine ligands mutually perpendicular to the planar organic ligand.
