Controlling of Photophysical Behavior of Rhenium(I) Complexes with 2,6-Di(thiazol-2-yl)pyridine-Based Ligands by Pendant π-Conjugated Aryl Groups.

ABSTRACT: The structure-property correlations and control of electronic excited states in transition metal complexes (TMCs) are of high significance for TMC-based functional material development. Within these studies, a series of Re(I) carbonyl complexes with aryl-substituted 2,6-di(thiazol-2-yl)pyridines (Arⁿ-dtpy) was synthesized, and their ground- and excited-state properties were investigated. A number of condensed aromatic rings, which function as the linking mode of the aryl substituent, play a fundamental role in controlling photophysics of the resulting [ReCl(CO)₃(Arⁿ-dtpy-κ²N)]. Photoexcitation of [ReCl(CO)₃(Arⁿ-dtpy-κ²N)] with 1-naphthyl-, 2-naphthyl-, 9-phenanthrenyl leads to the population of ³MLCT. T
