Synthesis of platinum(II) metallocycles using microwave-assisted heating.
An efficient microwave-assisted self-assembly of dinuclear platinum metallocycles is reported. The reactions proceed to afford the products with high purity and yields within 3-4 h. We have used this methodology to synthesize a new 14.75 Å × 14.75 Å molecular square. The solid-state structure showed a perfect alignment of the squares along the c axis.
