Synthesis and characterization of photochromic platinum-coordinated dithienylethenes

The syntheses and characterization of photochromic platinum-coordinated dithienylethenes (DTEs) are reported. Platinum acetylide complexes were investigated as potentially useful chromphores to integrate with photoresponsive DTEs. Acetylides were observed to be successful at promoting strong elec...
