Abstract
We report the reversible chromism and luminescence of a cyclometalated platinum(ii) complex that forms dimers, with close PtPt interactions that can be modulated by solvent and temperature. The precise reversible control may be exploited in future stimuli-responsive chemosensing or optoelectronic devices.
