The organometallic chemistry of platinum covers a huge field, as shown by a recent survey covering the crystallographic and structural data of almost one thousand organometallic derivatives. About nine percent of those derivatives exist as isomers and are summarized in this review and include distortion (90 %), cis trans (6%) and ligand isomerism (4%). These are discussed in terms of the coordi...

Eu2(Pt(CN)4)3(H2O)12]·4C11H6N2O·6H2O represents a new member to the lanthanide tetracyanoplatinate family of materials. The synthesis, single-crystal X-ray structure, and photoluminescence properties this compound are reported herein. contains dimeric [Eu2(Pt(CN)4)3(H2O)12] molecules in which Eu3+ sites connected with trans-bridging [Pt(CN)4] 2− anions co-crystallized along 4,5-diazafluoren-9-o...

Rod-like organometallic dithiol containing square-planar Pt(II) centers, i. e., trans,trans-[(H3COCS)Pt(PBu3)2(C≡C−C6H4−C6H4−C≡C)(PBu3)2Pt(SCOCH3)] was used as bifunctional stabilizing agent for the synthesis of Pd-, Au-, and AgNPs (MNPs). All MNPs showed diameters about 4 nm, which can be controlled by carefully modulating parameters. Covalent stabilization occurred through a single S bridge b...

The title compound, [Co(C15H11N3)(H2O){Pt(CN)4}] n , is a one-dimensional coordination polymer formed under hydro-thermal reaction conditions. The Co(II) site has sixfold coordination with a distorted octa-hedral geometry, while the Pt(II) ion is coordinated by four cyanide groups in an almost regular square-planar geometry. The compound contains twofold rotation symmetry about its Co(II) ion, ...

The title salt, catena-poly[[[bis-(ethyl-enedi-amine)-platinum(II)]-μ-bromido-[bis(ethyl-enedi-amine)-platinum(IV)]-μ-bromido] tetra-kis-(2-bromo-ethane-sulfon-ate) dihydrate], {[PtIIPtIVBr2(C2H8N2)4](C2H4BrSO3)4·2H2O} n , crystallizes in the space group P21212. It has a linear chain structure extending parallel to the c axis, composed of square-planar [Pt(en)2]2+ and elongated octa-hedral tran...

Sesterterpenoids are a rare terpene class harboring untapped chemodiversity and bioactivities. Their structural diversity originates primarily from the scaffold-generating sesterterpene synthases (STSs). In fungi, all six known STSs are bifunctional, containing C-terminal trans-prenyltransferase (PT) and N-terminal terpene synthase (TPS) domains. In plants, two colocalized PT and TPS gene pairs...
