title: Platinum complexes of eta2-thiophenes.
abstract: Two novel ligands, 3,4-bis(quinolin-8-yl)thiophene and 3,4-bis[6-(trifluoromethoxyl)quinolin-8-yl]thiophene, and their corresponding diplatinum complexes have been synthesized and fully characterized. These two complexes feature the inverse sandwich structures and the eta(2)-C,C thiophenes on platinum centers.
