Effects of Alkyl Length in Ligands in Mixed Valence MMX Complexes: Properties of Pt-2(n-HeXCS2)(4)I (n-Hex = n-Hexyl Group)
The title compound newly synthesized shows a quite different physical properties from similar compounds having shorter alkyl chains in alkyl dithiocarboxylato ligands. This finding demonstrates an important role of ligands and their dynamics in designing physical properties of inorganic complexes.
