Abstract

An integration of photofunctional metal complexes is one of the useful strategies to develop multifarious photofunctional metal complexes. In particular, hetero-multinuclear complexes often show an enhancement in photoluminescent properties, photosensitizing abilities, and photocatalytic abilities due to the efficient intramolecular electron and/or excitation energy transfer. In recent years, several C–C coupling reactions, which have been frequently used in organic chemistry, were applied for connecting transition metal complexes. In this chapter, I focused on the Mizoroki–Heck reaction, which has few reports on application to integration of metal complexes. Various photofunctional metal complexes with functional groups, i.e., bromo and vinyl groups, were integrated into hetero-multinuclear complexes using the Mizoroki–Heck reaction under suitable reaction conditions. The obtained trinuclear complexes absorb a wide range of visible light and have long emission lifetimes and the photocatalytic ability for CO2 reduction.

However, adding too much air to the reaction vessel also decreased the yield. Air contamination that occurred when the cap of the vessel was opened to allow the reagents to be added supplied a suitable amount of air for [Re(OEt)Re(Et)]2+ to be produced. The role of air in the reaction is described in detail in Chapter 3.2.1
