Title: Bathochromic Shifts in Rhenium Carbonyl Dyes Induced through Destabilization of Occupied Orbitals

Abstract

A series of rhenium diimine carbonyl complexes was prepared and characterized in order to examine the influence of axial ligands on electronic structure. Systematic substitution of the axial carbonyl and acetonitrile ligands of [Re(deeb)(CO)3(NCCH3)]+ (deeb = 4,4'-diethylester-2,2'-bipyridine) with trimethylphosphine and chloride, respectively, gives rise to red-shifted absorbance features. These bathochromic shifts result from destabilization of the occupied d-orbitals involved in metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions. Finally, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory identified the orbitals involved in each transition and provided support for the changes in orbital energies induced by ligand substitution.
