Abstract:
Upon switching the counter-ion to a highly lipophilic anion, a series of phosphorescent cationic organoplatinum(II) salts are rendered soluble in non-polar solvents and can further self-organize into lamellar nanostructures, breath-figure arrays and smectic mesophases.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
