title: Platinum(II) Schiff base as versatile phosphorescent core component in conjugated oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)s.
abstract: Novel phosphorescent conjugated oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)s featuring a central tunable platinum(II) Schiff base signalling unit with promising photophysical properties have been investigated to pave their development towards polymeric congeners for sensing applications.
