An overview of the chemistry of homo and heteropolynuclear platinum complexes containing bridging acetylide (μ-C≡CR) ligands

Different aspects of transition metal alkynyl chemistry have been widely studied over the past decades because of their interesting structures, chemical reactivity and properties. This review describes the chemistry of homo and heteropolynuclear platinum complexes containing bridging ligands, with special emphasis in synthetic routes, structural aspects and photoluminescence properties.
