title: A new member of the oxygen-photosensitizers family: a water-soluble polymer binding a platinum complex.
abstract: The grafting of a 2-picolylamine Pt(II) complex into polymethacrylic acid has been successfully performed. The obtained polymer is water soluble, and it represents the first example of a platinum-containing polymer able to photogenerate singlet oxygen.
