A Study of Polymeric Platinum (II) Compounds and Nanoscale Materials: Author: Anderson, Bernard Marshall; Date: 2004-05-15; Program: Chemistry; Abstract: The photophysical and structural properties of the tetra-u- pyrophosphitodiplatinate (2-) anion have been well studied in the past. One such analogue of this compound is a phosphorescent red compound of unknown structure. A new synthesis route has been was found for both the tetra-u- pyrophosphitodiplatinate (2-) and the red anionic compounds. By synthesizing the pyrophosphorus ligand outright and reacting that with tetrachloroplatinate (2-) either the tetra-u-pyrophosphitodiplatinate (2-) or the red anionic compounds can be synthesized depending on the amount of the phosphorus acid that is pr...; Download File | View full details
