The trans-Bis(p-thioetherphenylacetynyl)bis(phosphine)platinum(II) Ligands: A Step towards Predictability and Crystal Design.

ABSTRACT: Two organometallic ligands L1 (trans-[p-MeSC₆H₄C≡C-Pt(PR₃)₂-C≡CC₆H₄SMe; R = Me]) and L2 (R = Et) react with CuX salts (X = Cl, Br, I) in MeCN to form one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers (CPs). The clusters formed with copper halide can either be step cubane Cu₄I₄, rhomboids Cu₂X₂, or simply CuI. The formed CPs with L1, which is less sterically demanding than L2, exhibit a crystallization solvent molecule (MeCN), whereas those formed with L2 do not incorporate MeCN molecules in the lattice. These CPs were characterized by X-ray crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis, IR, Raman, absorption, and emiss
