title: A novel fluorene-containing kappa(4)-P(2)N(2)-tetradentate platinum(II) complex.
abstract: Base induced P,N-chelation, C-C coupling and methylene C-H deprotonation affords an unusual fluorene containing square-planar Pt(II) complex Pt(kappa4-P2N2-Ph2PCH=NNCC12H8)2 which has been isolated and structurally characterised.
