Tiara-like platinum octanethiolate complexes [Pt(µ-SC8H17)2] n . a Chemical structure of the complexes. b Chromatogram of the preparative HPLC separation with size-exclusion columns (SEC) monitored by a refractive index detector. This chromatogram was recorded at five cycles of the recycling processes. c MALDI-TOF-mass spectra of the isolated [Pt(µ-SC8H17)2] n (n = 5–13) measured with DCTB matrix. d Optimized geometric structures at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level. Platinum, sulphur, and α-carbon atoms are shown as blue, yellow, and gray spheres, respectively. The hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity
