    A new class of neutral bisĀ­(isocyanoĀ­borato) bisĀ­(bipyridyl) OsĀ­(II) complexes with the general formula of [OsĀ­(Nā€“N)<sub>2</sub>Ā­(CNBR<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (Nā€“N = bpy, 4,4ā€²-Me<sub>2</sub>bpy; R = C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>, C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>5</sub>) were prepared with simple synthetic methodologies. One of these complexes was structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Unlike most of the neutral bisĀ­(bipyridyl) OsĀ­(II) complexes, which are very weakly emissive or nonemissive, these isocyanoborato complexes displayed intense orange to red phosphorescence with a luminescent quantum yield up to 0.09 in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> solution at room temperature. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of these complexes were also investigated. Detailed photophysical study showed that these complexes exhibited significantly enhanced emission properties over other reported neutral bisĀ­(bipyridyl) OsĀ­(II) complexes. In addition, it also revealed that the photophysics, electrochemistry, and excited state properties can be fine-tuned or modified through the functionalization of isocyanoborate ligands

    Luminescent Rhenium(I) Pyridyldiaminocarbene Complexes: Photophysics, Anion-Binding, and CO<sub>2</sub>ā€‘Capturing Properties

    A series of luminescent isocyanorheniumĀ­(I) complexes with chelating acyclic diaminocarbene ligands (N^C) has been synthesized and characterized. Two of these carbene complexes have also been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. These complexes show blue-to-red phosphorescence, with the emission maxima not only considerably varied with a change in the number of ancillary isocyanide ligands but also extremely sensitive to the electronic and steric nature of the substituents on the acyclic diaminocarbene ligand. A detailed study with the support of density functional theory calculations revealed that the lowest-energy absorption and phosphorescence of these complexes in a degassed CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> solution are derived from the predominantly metal-to-ligand charge-transfer [dĻ€Ā­(Re) ā†’ Ļ€*Ā­(N^C)] excited state. The unprecedented anion-binding and CO<sub>2</sub>-capturing properties of the acyclic diaminocarbene have also been described

    A simple design strategy for a new class of stable, vacuum-sublimable, and strongly emissive sky-blue neutral phosphorescent ReĀ­(I) phenanthroline complexes {ReĀ­(R<sub>2</sub>phen)Ā­(CO)<sub>3</sub>[CNBĀ­(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]} is reported. These complexes show intense bluish green emission in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> solution with the highest emission quantum yield and bluest emission ever reported for the neutral ReĀ­(I) diimine complexes. In the solid state, they display sky-blue emission. The electroluminescent properties of devices containing these complexes have also been investigated
