Interfacial intermolecular interactions between phosphorescent, square-planar, cyclometallated platinum(ii) complexes may lead to the formation of bimolecular excited states that emit at lower energy than the isolated complexes in dilute solution. We... Read More about Dinuclear platinum( ii ) complexes featuring rigidly linked Pt( NCN )X units: the effect of X = SCN − in favouring low-energy, excimer-like luminescence.
