An Exploratory Investigation of the Photophysical and Photochemical Properties of Rhenium(I) N-Heterocyclic Carbene Tricarbonyl Complexes

Functionalised N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesised, characterised and coordinated to a rhenium metal centre. The resulting rhenium(I) NHC tricarbonyl complexes were emissive when irradiated with UV light. These photophysical properties were analysed and quantified. During this anal...
