Abstract

Reactions between Re2(DMBA)4(NO3)2 (1; DMBA is dimethylbenzamidinate) and a bidentate dianion, either tungstate (WO4(2-)) or terephthalte (1,4-(O2C)2C6H4(2-)), resulted in the one-dimensional coordination polymers [Re2(DMBA)4(mu-O,O'-WO4)](infinity) (2) and [Re2(DMBA)4(mu-O,O'-1,4-(O2C)2C6H4)](infinity) (3), respectively. Both polymers display phosphorescence from a 3(delta --> delta*) state, which is significantly blue shifted from the phosphorescence previously observed for Re2(DMBA)4Cl2 type compounds.
