Ion-based assemblies of planar anion complexes and cationic PtII complexes†
Abstract
Because the metallophilicity of attractive PtII⋯PtII interactions helps in the fabrication of columnar structures, terpyridine–PtII complexes were used as planar counter cationic species for formation of charge-segregated assemblies using π-conjugated receptor–Cl− complexes as planar anions.
