Do the bridging angle affect the luminescent properties of [(CO)3(phen)Re(µ-OH)Re(phen)(CO)3]+?. An experimental and computational study on three polymorphs
Abstract:The reaction of [Re I Br(CO)3(THF)]2 with phenanthroline in solution leads to the diimine rhenium(I)tricarbonyl [(phen)Re(CO)3Br] and the dimer [(CO)3(phen)Re(µ-OH)(phen)Re(CO)3] + Br-(1 + Bras as a by-product (∼ 5% yield). This latter bimetallic compound crystallizes as a mixture of three polymorphs, with variable amount of solvent: 1 + Br-•CHCl3 (triclinic and orthorhombic) and 1 + Br-•2(CHCl3) (triclinic). Rietveld analysis showed 38, 54 and 8% of 1 + Br-•CHCl3 (triclinic), 1 + Br-•CHCl3 (orthorhombic) and … Show more
