Acid–Responsive Rhenium(I) NHC Complexes: Pyrazine vs Pyridine

Four rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes featuring pyridine- or pyrazine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes were synthesized and fully characterized, including the determination of their molecular structures by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical measurement...

Complexes containing the pyridyl core showed no detectable changes in either electrochemical or spectroscopic studies.
