title: Synthesis, characterization and molecular recognition of a bis-platinum terpyridine dimer.
abstract: A novel bis-platinum(II) terpyridine-based macrocycle has been quantitatively obtained by self-assembly; the Pt(II) host binds neutral planar and electron-rich aromatic guests with good selectivity in DMSO.
