Two　luminescent　hetero-trinuclear　complexes　[Pt2Cu(mu-dPPPY)(2)(C　equivalent　to　CC6H4R-4)(4)](ClO4)　(R　=　H,　1;　R　=　CH3,　2;　dpppy　=　2,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)pyridine)　have　been　synthesized　and　characterized　by　elemental　analyses,　ESI-MS,　H-1　and　P-31{H-1}　NMR　spectroscopy,　and　X-ray　crystallography　for　2.　Their　photophysical　properties　in　the　solid　state　and　in　solutions　at　room　temperature　and　in　frozen　glasses　at　77　K　were　studied.　Both　complexes　1　and　2　show　strong　orange-red　emission　in　the　solid　state　at　room　temperature　and　in　frozen　glasses　at　77　K,　and　weak　emission　in　solutions.
