Three luminescent palladium(II) and platinum(II) acetylide complexes, 1,3-[Cl(PEt₃)₂PdC⋮CC₆H₄C⋮C]₂-5-[(ⁱPr)₃SiC⋮C]C₆H₃ and 1,3,5-[Cl(PEt₃)₂MC⋮CC₆H₄C⋮C]₃C₆H₃ (M = Pd or Pt), have been synthesized by the reaction of the corresponding starting complexes, trans-M(PEt₃)₂Cl₂ (M = Pd or Pt), with branched alkynyl ligands. Their crystal structures, together with their luminescence behavior, have been reported.
