Synthesis, Oxidation and Photophysics of Perfluoroborated Tetrakis(pyrophosphito)diplatinate (II) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) Study of Electrochemical CO2 Reduction by Mn Catalysts

<p>In the first part of this thesis (Chapters I and II), the synthesis, characterization, reactivity and photophysics of per(difluoroborated) tetrakis(pyrophosphito)diplatinate(II) (Pt(POPBF<sub>2</sub>)) are discussed. Pt(POP-BF<sub>2</sub>) was obtained by reaction of...
