Studies on a series of rhenium(I) bipyridyl photosensitive dyes

• A series of rhemium(I) 2,2'-bipyridyl complexes [fac-(4,4'-di-COOEt-bpy)Re(CO)(3)(Xpy)PF6] (bpy = 2, 2'-bipyridine; py = pyridine; X = 3-methyl, 3-hydroxy, 3-amino, H) were synthesized. Their electrochemical properties, ground state electronic spectra and emission spectra were studied in acetonitrile. As the X group became more electron donating from H to 3-methyl, 3-hydroxy or 3-amino, the Re(II/I) oxidation potentials declined, the MLCT absorption maximum of the complex was changed little, the emission maximum blue-shifted, and the emission intensity and the fluorescence lifetime were decreased.
