Synthesis and characterization of polymeric Pd(II), Pt(IV), and Au(III) complexes of 2,2 '-(1,4-phenylenedivinylene)-bis-8-hydroxyquinoline

Abstract

The complexes of 2,2'-(1,4-Phenylenedivinylene)-bis-8-hydroxyquinoline (LH2) with K2PdCl4, H2PtCl6 and HAuCl4 were synthesized and characterized with H-1-and C-13- NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, and molar conductivity. Au(III) and Pt(IV) complexes have characteristic conductance, while the Pd(II) complex has a non-ionic structure according to the molar conductivity and elemental analysis.
