Synthesis and Characterization of Luminescent Rhenium(I) Tricarbonyl Diimine Complexes with a Triarylboron Moiety and the Study of Their Fluoride Ion-Binding Properties
A series of alkynylrhenium(I) tricarbonyl diimine complexes with a triarylboron moiety has been synthesized and characterized. The binding properties of the complex toward fluoride ions have been studied using electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy and were further supported by F-19 NMR binding experiments.
