The development of molecular frameworks derived from binuclear platinum(II) aromatic Schiff base (salphen) complexes and their supramolecular chemistry have been undertaken. A series of axially rotating (Pt‐salphen)2 luminophores, tethered in a cofacial manner by a rigid linker (xanthene, 1; dibenzo...
