Within the last ten years significant advances have been made in the knowledge and interpretation of the physical and chemical properties of organic and inorganic compounds with quasi one-dimensional crystal structures. Among these the Mx[Pt(CN)4] · n H2O compounds (with M = Na, K, Ba, Mg, Eu...) show a series of very unusual properties. These are mainly displayed by the lowest excited states which for most compounds exhibit a strong polarized luminescence. By the choice of the cation M it is possible to position the lowest transition energies within the large range from the near ultraviolet to the red. Further, high pressure application allows a continuous tuning, even down to the near infrared. By temperature variation and the application of high magnetic fields an assignment of the low-energy excited states can be achieved. Two distinctly different types of states are present, delocalized states and localized states (self-trapped excitons). By the occurrence of these different types of states the tetracyanoplatinates(II) represent interesting model systems.
