A series of luminescent mixed-metal acetylide complexes [Cu3(µ-LL)3{µ3-η1-CC–C6H2R2-2,5–C
C-p–Re(NN)(CO)3}2]+, (LL = dppm, PrnPNP; NN = bpy, But2bpy; R = H, Me) have been synthesized and their electrochemical properties studied; the X-ray crystal structure of [Cu3(µ-dppm)3{µ3-η1-C
C–C6H4C
C-p–Re(bpy)(CO)3}2]+ has also been determined.
