Abstract

Pd(II) and Pt(II) 1–3 are widely used in molecular self-assembly, which has emerged as one of the most efficient methods to create new materials with controlled physical and chemical properties. 4–6 The number of examples of Pt(II) self-assembly with conformationally-flexible N-ligands compared to that of Pd(II) analogs remain limited. 7,8 This can be attributed to the general inertness and the high thermodynamic stability of Pt–N bonds. One way to ...
