Figure 60: Synthesis of the homo- and binuclear ruthenium and platinum complexes<br />

Ru(phenphen), Ru(phenphen)Ru and Ru(phenphen)Pt from phenphen. i) [Ru(tbbpy) 2 Cl 2 ],<br />

(EtOH/H 2 O), 2 h, microwave, reflux. ii) K 2 PtCl 4 (DMF), 28 h, reflux, 36%.<br />

compounds display about the same high catalytic activity as their related palladium<br />

compounds. [82, 134, 135] In this way the system would be protected from decomposition by colloid<br />

formation after the photoreduction with retention of the catalytic activity of the palladium catalyst.<br />

For this synthesis, Ru(phenphen) was treated with K 2 PtCl 4 for 28 hours in a two-phase system<br />

of dichloromethane/water and later DMF to obtain the hetero-binuclear ruthenium-platinum<br />

complex [(tbbpy) 2 Ru(µ-phenphen)PtCl 2 ] 2+ (Ru(phenphen)Pt) in 36% yield according to the<br />

reaction pathway in figure 60.<br />
