Design and synthesis of dinuclear alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes as sensitizers for light-harvesting

A class of dinuclear alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes has been successfully synthesized and characterized, and their photophysical, electrochemical and excited state properties have been revealed. These dinuclear alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes have been shown to serve as photosensitizers in light-harvesting processes.
