Rhenium coordination-induced conformational modulation in nitrogen-doped nanographene.

ABSTRACT: The conformation of nanographene plays a pivotal role in determining its electronic, mechanical, and optical properties. Analyzing the conformation of nanographene is crucial because of its significant implications in various scientific and technological domains. In this work, we examined the changes in the structural conformation of nanographene upon coordination with a metal. We synthesized a series of nitrogen-doped nanographenes (2, 3, and 4) that differed by one C-C bond and their corresponding nanographene-Re complexes (2Re, 3Re, and 4Re). The conformations of the metal complexes were thoroughly analyzed using various spectroscopic techniques. A comparison of the X-ray crystal structures of nanographene before and after rhenium coordination revealed that rhenium coordination induced
