Abstract
Abstract A series of complexes of the formula [Pt(dvtms)(ImPy-R)] (dvtms = 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-divinyldisiloxane, ImPy-R = 2-R-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-ylidene; R = 4-cyanophenyl (4a), 4-trifluoromethylphenyl (4b), phenyl (4c), 4-methoxyphenyl (4d), mesityl (4e), pentafluorophenyl (4f), tert-butyl (4g)) are presented. These compounds are synthesized from Karstedt
