Exploring nitrogen ligand diversity in trans-N-heterocyclic carbene-amine platinum complexes: synthesis, characterization, and application to fluorescence.

Expand and diversify your Ptfolio: N-Heterocyclic carbene-Pt-pyridine complexes have been used to generate an expanded and diversified set of trans NHC-Pt complexes with various amines, polyamines, hydroxylamines, or hydrazine as ligands. Attachment of a fluorophore moiety has also been successfully achieved.
