title: Terpyridine-platinum(II) acetylide complexes bearing pendent coordination units.
abstract: Platinum(II) complexes bearing various alkyne-pyrene, alkyne-4'-terpyridine and alkyne-dibutoxyphenylacetylide-terpyridine units were constructed in a step-by-step procedure based on copper-promoted cross-coupling reactions with preconstructed modules; formation of bis(ligand) complexes of Fe(II) and Zn(II) by binding of the pendent terpyridine units provided heterotrinuclear derivatives, all of which exhibit highly structured absorption features in solution and display a rich electrochemistry due to the presence of various redox active modules.
