Bi- and Multilayered Assembly of Amphiphilic Pd(II) and Pt(II) Complexes with N-Alkyl-4,4′-bipyridinium Ligands

Abstract

Abstract Alternating transition metal-organic bi- and multilayers composed of dicationic (ethylenediamine)palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes and N-alkyl-4,4′-bipyridinium, [(η3–C3H5)Pd{4,4′-bpy-N-(CH2)12OC6H3-3,5-(OMe)2}(OAc)]NO3 and [M{4,4′-bpy-N-(CH2)12OC6H3-3,5-(OMe)2}2(en)](NO3)4 (M = Pd, Pt, en = 1,2-ethylenediamine), were synthesized on mica surface by simple casting method from aqueous solution.
