Novel square-planar Pt-based heterometallic complexes with ferrocenecarboxylic acid were prepared in two steps from (tetrapyridine)platinum diacetate [PtPy4](OAc)2. The crystal structure of [PtPy4](FcCOO)2 and [PtPy2(FcCOO)2] was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Subsequent thermal transformation of a trinuclear compound [PtPy2(FcCOO)2] to a bimetallic Pt–Fe phase was studied by XAFS techniques. © 2023
