Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover shows the important steps of the synthesis of dppbd. After the formation of the initial intermediate, comes the second and key step, which is a light induced pericyclic cycloaddition, immediately followed by a thermally induced ring opening reaction. The third step is the removal of platinum, which was used as a template. The last step shows two examples of the coordination of metal centers. In the background is an excitation/emission spectrum of a compound consisting of osmium and the title compound, demonstrating its application as a photosensitizer.
