Square-planar polypyridine platinum (II) complexes have been introduced into a silica/polymer matrix by covalent ligand modification. The photophysical properties of the supported matrices are well retained as their model complexes, and the quantum yields for singlet oxygen (1O2) generation are comparable with that of TPP (tetraphenylporphyrin) under similar conditions. A preliminary application in photosensitized oxidation indicates ...
