Bibliographic project: Platinum(II) compounds with tetradentate ligands: Synthesis and applications

Abstract

In the mid-20th century, early studies of platinum (II) complexes with tetradentate ligands began. Although it began many years ago, no conclusive results were observed with regards to its field of application until recently, that two interesting fields are being developed. There is still continuous research in these areas which have a promising future. In this report, information has been collected about the two fields that have been discovered, on the one hand, it has been found that platinum (II) complexes with tetradentate ligands offer interesting luminescence properties and may even improve their predecessors, the octahedral complexes of Ir(III). On the other hand, they have also been found to possess antitumor properties in different trials to combat various tumors and to extend their application to other types of tumors
