69. Various dimer structures have been obtained by rotating one of the Pt (II) molecules by 15° from 0 to 180°. Unfortunately, however, because of the triplet state stability issue, PES only for the dimers of θ = 15, 30, 76, 90, and 135° in addition to the syn and anti dimers are successfully characterized. In lieu of the θ = 75° dimer, the 76° one where pyridine- and difluorophenyl-ring are optimally superimposed is used.
