Double sandwich : Phosphorescent molecular double‐decker tweezers based on an alkynyl platinum(II) terpyridine system have been synthesized. The tweezers can accommodate two platinum guest complexes, giving rise to drastic color changes (see picture) and near‐IR emissions as a result of extended Pt II ⋅⋅⋅Pt II interactions.
