N-Heterocyclic carbenes as π*-acceptors in luminescent Re(I) triscarbonyl complexes
Two rhenium(I) carbonyl complexes of the type fac-[Re(CO)3(N^C)X] where N^C is an N-heterocyclic carbene [3-butyl-1-(2’-pyridyl)benzimidazolin-2-ylidene] and X is either Cl or Br have been synthesised via an in situ method from [Re(CO)5X] and a respective benzimidazolium salt. The complexes have bee...
