Anthracene-Based Fluorophore and Its Re(I) Complexes: Investigation of Electrical Properties and Schottky Diode Behavior.

ABSTRACT: A novel fluorophore (HL) [1-((E)-(quinolin-8-ylimino)methyl)anthracen-2-ol] using a suitably designed anthrol and quinoline derivative was synthesized and well characterized. Then, two Re(I) complexes with the fac-[Re(CO)₃] ⁺ moiety were prepared with the ligand under different reaction conditions. Both the complexes [Re(L)(CO)₃] (1) and [Re(HL)(CO)₃Cl] (2) absorbed in the visible region. Steady-state fluorescence measurements and time-correlated single-photon count experiments were performed to elucidate the nature of the excited state. The ground- and excited-state geometries were theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The electrical properties of the ligand and the complexes have bee
