Synthesis and luminescence behaviour of rhenium(i) diynyl complexes. X-Ray crystal structures of [Re(CO)3(tBu2bpy)(CC–CCH)] and [Re(CO)3(tBu2bpy)(CC–CCPh)]

Abstract

Luminescent rhenium(I) diynyl complexes [Re(CO)3(tBu2- bpy)(CC–CCH)] and [Re(CO)3(tBu2bpy)(CC–CCPh)] were synthesized and their photophysical properties studied; the crystal structures have also been determined.
