(i) a di-nitrogen ligand,

(ii) a support comprising MgO, and

(iii) an anchoring ligand,

wherein the di-nitrogen ligand is of formula (I):

wherein R 1 and R 2 are each, independently, a C 3 to a C 12 branched or unbranched alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, or a carboxylic acid group;

wherein the anchoring ligand is 2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid or 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione;

wherein the di-nitrogen ligand in (i) and the anchoring ligand in (iii) complex with a platinum metal ion; and

wherein the anchoring ligand in (iii) is deposited on the support in (ii).
