Platinum(II) double salt extended linear chain materials are stacks of square planar complexes held together by a linear chain of weak platinum-platinum bonds. Platinum(II) double salt materials are appealing due to their vapochromic properties and potential application as vapor sensors. Alternating platinum(II) tetrakisisonitrile dications and platinum(II) tetrakiscyanide dianions have been synthesized in previous years to create double salt materials. This research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of square planar platinum(II) coordinated with one chiral isonitrile ligand and one tridentate terpyridine (trpy) ligand as the dication in a double salt. This dication has been combined with platinum(II) tetrakiscyanide dianion to synthesize a new type of double salt. The synthesis and characterization of five chiral isonitriles and their trpy double salts will be presented.
