Syntheses and structural characterization of novel luminescent heteronuclear rhenium(i)–zinc(ii) and –cadmium(ii) chalcogenolate complexes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Novel heteronuclear rhenium(I)–zinc(II) and –cadmium(II) complexes with chalcogenolate ligands have been synthesized and shown to exhibit rich luminescence properties; the X-ray crystal structures of [{(bpy)Re(CO)3(μ-SC6H4Me-p )}2- Zn(bpy)](PF6)2 (2) and [{(bpy)Re(CO)3(μ-SC6H4Me-p )}2- Cd(bpy)2](PF6)2 (4) have been determined.
