Donor-acceptor systems of Pt(n) and redox-induced reactivity towards small molecules

摘要

Oxidation at a redox-active ligand is shown to enhance reactivity at the metal center and makes it susceptible to chemical reactions which also include H_2 activation. Donor-acceptor systems based on Pt(n) and non-innocent ligands have been long studied for their intriguing electronic properties and their possible use in solar energy harnessing.
