Description
This presentation will discuss the preparation and characterization of a family of platinumcontaining compounds. In an attempt to synthesize Pt(CN-2,6-CH3-C6H3)2(CN)2 from [Pt(CN-2,6- CH3-C6H3)4][Pt(CN)4] a salt containing the platinum monocation [Pt(CN-2,6-CH3-C6H3)3CN]+, was produced. These types of platinum compounds display vapochromic behavior by changing spectroscopic properties, such as color, upon sorbing volatile organic compound vapors. Thus, they have the potential to be used as environmental sensors.
