Abstract

A simple but effective route has been developed to produce a series of molecular clefts,[(η6- p-cymene) RuCl (1) 2] PF6 (4a),[(dppe) Pd (1) 2](BF4) 2 (5a),[(dppe) Pd (2) 2](BF4) 2 (5b),[(dppe) Pt (1) 2](BF4) 2 (6a) and [(dppe) Pt (2) 2](BF4) 2 (6b), that contain either a redox active ferrocenyl or a photoactive anthracenyl side arm, attached to a ruthenium (II), palladium (II) or platinum (II) backbone. Compounds 4a, 5a, 5b and 6a act as hosts for oxo ...
