Unprecedented soliton formation mechanism in quasi-one-dimensional chloro-bridged Pt-II-Pt-IV mixed-valence compound, {[Pt(en)(2)][PtCl2(en)(2)]}(3)(CuCl4)(4)center dot 12H(2)O
A new type of complex consisting of double liner-chain structure {[Pt(en)(2)][PtCl2(en)(2)]}(3)(CuCl4)(4) . 12H(2)O was synthesized. High concentration (ca. 200 times larger than the literature) of neutral soliton (Pt-III component) formation was found. This unprecedented soliton formation mechanism will be discussed.
