A new class of highly solvatochromic dicyano rhenate(i) diimine complexes – synthesis, photophysics and photocatalysis

Abstract

A new class of dicarbonyl dicyano rhenate(I) diimine complexes, cis,trans-[Re(CO)2(CN)2(N–N)], with highly environmentally sensitive MLCT absorption and emission properties was synthesised and characterised. Preliminary experiments revealed that these complexes are active photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.
