A neutral dinuclear rhenium(I) bipyridinetricarbonyl bromide complex has been investigated with a range of anions, giving a remarkable binding affinity for dihydrogenphosphate. These studies highlight that anion sensing can be achieved with structurally simple species provided that the compound adopts an unconventional conformation, through, for example, intramolecular hydrogen bonding in solution.

The self-assembly of three rheniumtricarbonyl core-based supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs), -[Re(CO)(μ-L)(μ-L')Re(CO)] (-) was carried out using Re(CO), rigid bis-chelating ligand (HO∩N-Ph-N∩OH (L) (where HO∩N = 2-hydroxyphenylbenzimidazolyl), and flexible ditopic N-donor ligands (L = bis(3-((1-benzoimidazol-1-yl)methyl)-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)methane, L = bis(3-((1-naphtho[2,3-]imidazol-1-yl)methyl)-2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)methane, L = bis(4-(naphtho[2,3-]imidazol-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)methane) a one-pot solvothermal approach. In the solid state, the dinuclear SCCs adopt heteroleptic double-stranded helicate and meso-helicate architectures. The supramolecular structures of the complexes are retained in the solution based on the H NMR and electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass analysis.

This paper describes the synthesis of an unprecedented oxo-bridged rheniumI/VII (Re) complex by treating Re2(CO)10 with a pyridyl-linked anthracene-based twisted π-conjugated ligand. The molecular structures of both the ligand and the complex are determined by analyzing IR, NMR, and HR-MS spectra and unequivocally determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Unlike previous observations, the complexation occurs uniquely to yield an unprecedented oxo-bridged ReI/VII complex.

Novel method for preparing stable near-infrared absorbers: a new phthalocyanine family based on rhenium(i) complexes.

Rational design of near-infrared (NIR) absorbing molecules is crucial for developing photofunctional materials. Here, we synthesized dinuclear and mononuclear Re(i) tricarbonyl phthalocyanine complexes that exhibit a sharp intense Q band in the NIR region. The unsymmetric coordination of electron-deficient metal unit(s) concomitantly produced a remarkable red shift of the Q band and improved the tolerance of the phthalocyanine ring to oxidation.

The reaction of -[ReX(CHCN)(CO)] (X = Cl, Br) with -phenyl-[4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde] thiosemicarbazone () or -4-methoxybenzyl-[4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde] thiosemicarbazone () under controlled synthetic conditions gave 4 mononuclear [ReX(HL)(CO)] (X = Cl, Br) and 16 dinuclear [ReL(CO)] compounds. These complexes were obtained as single crystals, and their structures were established by X-ray diffraction. The structural study of these dimers showed the formation of several solvates, the presence of linkage isomerism, and the stabilization of four- and/or five-membered chelate rings.
