Abstract

Gold and platinum (II) complexes of the phosphine ligands PArnPh3− n (Ar= naphthyl, anthracenyl, ferrocenyl and other polyaromatic groups) have been synthesised. The electron donating abilities of naphthyl and anthracenyl phosphine ligands has been explored using gas phase photoelectron spectral data on the parent phosphines and their relative complexing ability to platinum precursor molecules has been assessed by means of ...
