Three new Re(CO)3Cl complexes (ReL1−ReL3) containing the N,N-bidentate ligands 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-phenylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (L1), 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (L2), and 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (L3) were synthetized and fully characterized. Photophysical properties of L1−L3 and ReL1−ReL3 were studied with absorption and emission spectroscopy. The X-ray structure of ReL3 was determined. Time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations were performed in order to elucidate the electronic structures and the excited states of ligands and complexes. Ligands L1 and L2 show 1π−π* emission with limited charge-transfer character (CT), while L3 emits from an excited state with higher CT character due to the presence of a dimethylamino group. No emissive metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) states are found for the rhenium complexes. ReL1 and ReL2, although similar to their ligands, display a ligand-centered 1π−π*/3π−π* dual emission; singlet emissions fall ...
