[Pt(COD)Cl 2 ]<br />

A solution <strong>of</strong> 1,5-cyclooctadiene (2.10 ml, 17 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (35 ml) was<br />

added to an aqueous solution <strong>of</strong> K2PtCl4 (2.17 g, 5.23 mmol). The mixture was stirred for<br />

30 minutes at 90 oC under reflux. After 30 minutes a pale-yellow crystals started to<br />

precipitate. The solution was allowed to cool down and the compound formed,<br />

[Pt(COD)Cl2], was filtered <strong>of</strong>f. The yellow crystals were washed with copious amounts<br />

<strong>of</strong> water, ethanol, and diethyl ether and finally dried in the oven at 100 o C for 1 hour.<br />

[Pt(COD)Cl2]: yield, 87% (1.71g, 4.57mmol).<br />

3.2.1.4 Synthesis <strong>of</strong> 4’-(2’’’-CH3-phenyl)-6-(3˝-isoquinoyl)-2,2´-bipyridine ligand 20,26<br />

The synthesis <strong>of</strong> the ligand followed the Kröhnke method 27 and is illustrated in Scheme<br />

3.5.
