title: Metal-organic anion receptors: trans-functionalised platinum complexes.
abstract: The anion complexation properties of a trans-functionalised platinum(II) complex have been studied revealing a high affinity for sulfate in solution and 3:2 receptor sulfate complex formation in the solid state with the anion bound in a pocket lined with 6 NH and 8 CH hydrogen-bond-donating groups.
