Experimental study demonstrates programmable dicationic tetrylene Z-type ligands tuning platinum electrophilicity, highlighting a new paradigm for catalytic reactivity.
Dicationic tetrylenes possess unique σ–acceptor properties but have long remained chemical curiosities because of their intrinsic instability and limited coordination chemistry. Chen and Zhang now transform these elusive species into practical, electronically programmable Z‐type ligands, enabling systematic tuning of platinum electrophilicity and catalysis ( https://doi.org/10.1002/anov.70024 ). This work establishes a new paradigm for Z‐type ligand design.
