Cover Picture: Complexation and Extraction of PAHs to the Aqueous Phase with a Dinuclear PtII Diazapyrenium-Based Metallacycle (Chem. Eur. J. 41/2010)

摘要

The complexation and extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with a PtII–diazapyrenium-based metallacycle is reported by C. Peinador, J. M. Quintela et al. in their Full Paper on page 12373 ff. Single-crystal X-ray crystallography confirmed the structures of the complexes. The potential of the designed metallacycle for the selective extraction of PAHs from an organic medium to an aqueous phase was explored by means of competitive extraction experiments.
