Hydroxy-tethered platinum(II) complexes were synthesized and used as diol monomers for polyurethane synthesis. Polyurethanes with moderate molecular weights were obtained by conventional polyaddition with a diisocyanate. The polyurethane containing the platinum(II) complex substituted with t-Bu groups was soluble in common organic solvents, including CHCl3 and tetrahydrofuran. The obtained polyurethane exhibited distinguishable photoluminescence changes upon grinding in the solid state.
