fac-Re(CO)3-based organometallic supramolecular coordination complexes using thiophene motif decorated flexible ditopic benzimidazolyl donor

Publication date: Available online 23 April 2018 Source:Journal of Organometallic Chemistry Author(s): Palanisamy Rajakannu, Bhaskaran Shankar, Malaichamy Sathiyendiran Thiophene/bithiophene units decorated flexible ditopic benzimidazolyl donors (Ln) were synthesized. Neutral, heteroleptic, dinuclear rhenium(I)-based organometallic supramolecular coordination complexes (SCC's) (1–4) were synthesized using Ln, Re2(CO)10 and tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquionone via one-step procedure. All the molecules were characterized by various methods. SCCs 1, 2 and 4 were further analyzed by X-ray analysis. All the ligands and the complexes are emissive at room temperature.
