A Dinuclear Platinum(II) N4Py Complex: An Unexpected Coordination Mode For N4Py

Lo WKC, Huff GS, Preston D, McMorran DA, Giles GI, Gordon KC, Crowley JD

The polypyridyl compound N,N-bis(2-pyridylinethyl)-N-bis(2-pyridyl)methylamine (N4Py) acts as a bridging ligand and coordinates to two Pt(II) ions giving an unexpected diplatinum(II) complex, whose photophysical and anticancer properties were investigated.
