Platinum (II) phosphine complexes with acetylene ligands containing 1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide: Synthesis, crystal structure and electrochemistry

A new acetylene ligand modified with the electron-accepting 1,4,5,8-naphthalenediimide group and its Pt(II) phosphine complexes are reported. The Pt(II) complexes incorporate optical properties of the imide group, and display two reversible imide-centred reduction processes.
