Synthesis and ion-blinding studies of platinum(II) phenanthroline complexes containing crown ether moiety

Two new benzo-[15]-crown-5 attached phenanthroline platinum(11) complexes with the general formula Pt(phen)X-2, where X = Cl (1), C=CC6H5 (2) have been synthesized, and their absorption and luminescence response towards metal ions have been studied.
