after which water was added to quench the unreacted lithium reagent and the organics<br />

extracted into dichloromethane. All the organics were re-aromatized on addition <strong>of</strong><br />

excess MnO2 as oxidant and left to stand for 2 h, filtered and the solution dried over<br />

Na2SO4 and concentrated to yellow oil. The crude product was purified on an alumina<br />

column with THF/hexane (5:1). The final white solid product was recrystallized from<br />

1:1 (v/v) dichloromethane/hexanes. 2-(2’-pyridyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (pyphen):<br />

Preparation <strong>of</strong> pyPhenPtCl<br />

The synthesising <strong>of</strong> pyPhenPtCl was according to the procedure published by McMillin<br />

and co-workers (Scheme 3.3), with [Pt(COD)Cl2] as the starting material. 21<br />

A solution <strong>of</strong> the pyphen ligand (100 mg) in a small amount <strong>of</strong> acetone was added to a<br />

suspension <strong>of</strong> 1 molar equiv. <strong>of</strong> [Pt(COD)Cl2] in aqueous 0.05 M 2-(N-<br />

morpholine)ethanesulfonic acid. The solution turned yellow on heating. After filtration,<br />

a saturated aqueous solution <strong>of</strong> NaCl was added to yield a red precipitate <strong>of</strong><br />
