The semirigid ligands 1,4-bis(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (H-2-pBC) and 1,3-bis(2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (H-2-mBC), containing two hydroxyphenylbenzimidazolyl units as bis-chelating (or bis-(bidentate)) N boolean AND OH donor, were synthesized and were used to assemble neutral, luminescent heteroleptic, unsaturated double-hetero-stranded, rhenium(I)-based helicate (1) and mesocate (2) with the flexible bis(monodentate) nitrogen donor (1,4-bis (benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene/1,3-bis(benzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), and Re-2(CO)(10). The photophysical properties of the complexes were studied. Both complexes 1 and 2 exhibit dual emissions in both solution and solid state. In solution, these complexes show both fluorescence and phosphorescence. Complex 1 undergoes a predominantly ligand-centered oxidation, resulting in the generation of phenoxyl radicals.
