    Abstract:
    Reactions between [Pt(C[triple bond]CR)(4)](2-) (R = Tol a, C(6)H(4)OMe-4 b, C(6)H(4)OMe-3 c) and Cd(2+) depend on the media and the alkynyl substituent, leading to the formation of yellow tetranuclear solvate complexes [Pt(C[triple bond]CR)(4)Cd(acetone)](2) 1a,b(acetone)(2) and [Pt(C[triple bond]CC(6)H(4)OMe-3)(4)Cd(dmso)](2) 1c(dmso)(2) or white polymeric solvate-free species [Pt(C[triple bond]CR)(4)Cd](x) 1'a-c. Treatment of 1a,b(acetone)(2) or 1'a-c with N-donor ligands affords a series of tetranuclear clusters [Pt(C[triple bond]CR)(4)CdL](2) (L = py; 2a-c. R = Tol; L = NC(5)H(4)CH(3)-4 3, NC(5)H(4)CF(3)-4 4, pzH 5). X-ray crystallographic studies reveal that, in the tolyl complexes (2a, 4, and 5), the Cd-L(2+) unit is closely bonded to one Pt-C(alpha)(acetylide) bond (Pt-Cd = 2.7, Cd-C(alpha) approximately 2.48 A), and the resulting "Pt(C[triple bond]CTol)(4)CdL" unit dimerizes by two additional eta(2)-Cd-acetylide and a weaker Pt...Cd bonding interaction leading to a planar unsymmetrical rhomboidal metal core. By contrast, the m-methoxyphenyl derivatives (2c, 1c(dmso)(2)) form symmetrical Pt(2)Cd(2) cores, with each Cd bonded (coordination number, C.N. = 5) to the incoming ligand (pyridine 2c, dmso 1c(dmso)(2)) and four Pt-C(alpha) bonds (Pt-Cd approximately 2.85; Cd-C(alpha) 2.470(10)-2.551(5) A) of different Pt(II) fragments. Evidence of ligand dissociation was found for the solvate (1a,b(acetone)(2), 1c(dmso)(2)) and NC(5)H(4)CF(3)-4 (4) derivatives by NMR and UV-vis absorption spectra. All tetranuclear aggregates exhibit bright blue to green luminescence in the solid state. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were performed to shed light on the nature of the electronic transitions. In the solvate 1a,b(acetone)(2) and 1c(dmso)(2), emissions have been assigned to a platinum-alkynyl to cadmium charge transfer ((3)MLM'CT), mixed with some intraligand (3)IL(C[triple bond]CR) character. In the imine derivatives 2-5, they are suggested to come from an excited state of large Pt(d)/piC[triple bond]CR-->pi*(imine) MLL'CT character, mixed with some Pt(d)/pi(C[triple bond]CR)-->Pt(2)Cd(2)/pi*C[triple bond]CR (ML'M'CT) contribution.
