A heterodimetallic platinum–cobalt carboxylate complex image: Synthesis and structure

Reaction of the platinum(II,IV) acetate blue Pt(OOCMe)2.5 with Co(OOCMe)2 · 4H2O followed by acetate–pivalate ligand substitution gave the first PtIV–CoII heterodimetallic purely carboxylate complex image with the [Pt(OOCCMe3)4] structure-forming building block as established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.
