Synthesis and ion-binding studies of a platinum(II) terpyridine complex with crown ether pendant. X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(trpy)(S-benzo-15-crown-5)]PF6
A platinum(II) terpyridine complex containing the mercaptobenzo-15-crown-5 ligand, [Pt(trpy)(S-benzo-15-crown-5)]PF6, has been synthesized and characterized. Its cation binding properties are studied by UV-vis and further confirmed by ESI-MS. The structure has also been determined by X-ray crystallography.
