Abstract

A bicyclic PSP-pincer ligand featuring a sulfonium cation at the bridgehead position of its rigid triptycene-like scaffold was synthesized and metallated with a bis-cationic Pt(ii) center. The resulting tris-cationic Pt(ii) complex exhibits excellent photostability and improved catalytic performance compared to its analogue with the previously reported sulfonium pincer ligand.
