Electrochromic polymer films containing re(I) and pt(II) metal centers
Three Re(I) complexes (3, 5, and 7) (Re(CO)(3)CI(L)(2)) and three new Pt(II) complexes (4, 6, and 8) ([Pt(P(Et)(3))(2)(L)(2)](OTf)(2)), where L = pyridine, 1 (4-Py-EDOT) or 2 (4-Py-bithiophene), were prepared and characterized. The solid-state structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Electrochromic polymeric films of 2, 5, and 6 were prepared and characterized.
