PG - 95-106 LID - 10.1021/ct049956g [doi] AB - Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations produce optimized geometries of the complexes [Re(CO)3(bpy)Cl] (1), [Re(CO)3(bpy)(py)](CF3SO3) (2), [Re(CO)3(bpy)(CNx)](CF3SO3) (3), and [Re(CO)(bpy)(CNx)3](CF3SO3) (4), where bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, py = pyridine, and CNx = 2,6-dimethylphenylisocyanide in their ground and lowest-lying triplet states. The ground-state optimized geometry for the cation of [Re(CO)3(bpy)(CNx)](CF3SO3) (3) results in a Re-C (CNx) bond length of 2.10 A, a Re-C (CO) bond length trans to CNx of 2.01 A, and a Re-C (CO) bond length cis to CNx of 1.96 A which compares favorably to the single-crystal analysis of a Re-C (CNx) bond length of 2.074(4) A, a Re-C (CO) bond length trans to CNx of 1.971(4) A, and Re-C (CO) bond length cis to CNx of 1.932(4) A. The majority of the singlet excited-state energies calculated using Time-dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) and Conductor-like Polarizable Continuum Model (CPCM) are metal-ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (MLLCT) states and are in good agreement with the UV-vis spectral energies for the complexes in ethanol. The complexes exhibit emission both at room temperature and at 77 K except 4 which is only emissive at 77 K. The 77 K emission lifetimes range from 3.9 mus for 1 to 8.8 mus for 3. The emissive lowest-lying triplet state is a (3)MLLCT state for complexes 1-3 but a triplet ligand-to-metal charge transfer ((3)LMCT) state for complex 4. The electronic, electrochemical, thermodynamic, HOMO-LUMO, and emitting-state energy gaps as well as the emission lifetimes increase in the order 1 < 2 < 3. A (3)d-d excited- state, which is located above the (3)LMCT state, accounts for the loss of room-temperature emission for complex 4.
