Abstract

A series of rhenium (I) diimine complexes with pyridyl-azo,-ethenyl or-ethyl type ligands,[Re (CO) 3 (N–N) L] ClO4 and [{Re (CO) 3 (N–N)} 2L′][ClO4] 2 {N–N= 2, 2′-bipyridine (bpy), 1, 10-phenanthroline (phen); L= 4-phenylazopyridine (PHAZO), 4-styrylpyridine (STYPY),[2-(4- pyridyl) ethyl] benzene (PEB), 4-(4-nitrostyryl) pyri
