Organometallic complexes containing a zwitterionic structure are interesting target molecules for catalysis studies. Due to their formal charge separation, these complexes combine the advantages of well-known cationic complexes of transition metals, but they also tolerate a broad range of solvents like neutral organometallic compounds.1This project involves the synthesis of a Pt2+ phenanthroline complex with a hypervalent dianonic silicon in the backbone. Using bifunctional ligands, such as 2,9-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline, allows us to construct the hexacoordinated silicon and also to stabilize a coordinated platinum cation simultaneously.   1 M.
