Abstract

A novel luminescent hexanuclear platinum(II) complex, [Pt(2)(mu-dppm)(2)(C[triple bond]CC(5)H(4)N)(4)[Pt(trpy)](4)](CF(3)SO(3))(8) (trpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine), was successfully synthesized by using the face-to-face dinuclear platinum(II) ethynylpyridine complex [Pt(2)(mu-dppm)(2)(C[triple bond]CC(5)H(4)N)(4)] as the building block.
