A new member of the oxygen-photosensitizers family: a water-soluble polymer binding a platinum complex

Dalton Trans. 2012 Aug 28;41(36):10923-5. doi: 10.1039/c2dt31157g.

Abstract

The grafting of a 2-picolylamine Pt(II) complex into polymethacrylic acid has been successfully performed. The obtained polymer is water soluble, and it represents the first example of a platinum-containing polymer able to photogenerate singlet oxygen.
