Luminescent rhenium(i) polypyridine complexes with an isothiocyanate moiety–versatile labelling reagents for biomolecules
Abstract
The synthesis, characterisation and photophysical properties of a series of new rhenium(I) polypyridine complexes, [Re(N–N)(CO)3(py-3-NCS)]+, are reported; the isothiocyanate moiety enables these complexes to react with primary amine groups of modified
