Abstract:
In this contribution, we present an efficient synthetic method for obtaining Re(I) mixed-ligand bis-diimine dicarbonyl complexes of general formula [Re(NN1)(NNi)(CO)2]OTf (NN1 = neocuproine), starting from bis-acetonitrile rhenium(I) precursor [Re(NN1)(CO)2(NCMe)2]OTf. This method allows introduction of different diimine ligands, which contain fused moieties and electron-withdrawing functional groups. All complexes obtained demonstrate deep red to near-infrared (NIR) emission both in solution and in the solid state, achieving 845 nm. The 3MLCT character of the emissive excited state was confirmed by TD-DFT calculations of the electronic structures for the complexes considered.

Conformation
The simplest example of a diene is 1,3-butadiene, an acyclic conjugated π system. At room temperature, the molecule exists as a mixture of s-cis and s-trans conformers by virtue of rotation around the carbon–carbon single bond. Although the s-trans isomer is...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
