Abstract

A series of picolyl-functionalised, fluorescent 1,8-naphthalimide ligands (L) have been synthesised and coordi-nated to ReI to form luminescent cationic complexes of the general form fac-[Re(phen)(CO)3(L)]BF4. The complexes were characterised by using a range of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. One example of a complex was also characterised in the solid-state by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, reveal-ing a distorted octahedral coordination sphere at ReI and Re– C/Re–N bond lengths within the expected ranges. All ligands were shown to be fluorescent, with the 4-amino derivatives showing intramolecular charge transfer in the visible region (511–534 nm). The complexes generally showed a mixture of ligand-centred and/or 3MLCT emission depending upon the na-ture of the coordinated 1,8-naphthalimide ligand. For selected complexes, confocal fluorescence microscopy was undertaken by using fission yeast cells (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) and showed that the structure of the 1,8-naphthalimide ligand influ-ences the uptake and localisation of the rhenium complex.
