The synthesis and characterisation of novel rhodium(III) heteroleptic complexes

TL;DRAbstract

It is the aim of the work that will be discussed in the following thesis to contribute to the field of Rh(III) polypyridyl chemistry. A series of heteroleptic Rh(III) polypyridyl complexes have been synthesised and characterised from the perspective of studying the effect of ligand variation and it was also hoped that it would be possible to develop dinuclear Ru(II)-Rh(III) complexes in which both the electron donor and the electron acceptor would be photoexcitable units.
\n
\nA series of complexes of the form [Rh(L)2(L’)]n+ where L = bpy or phen, L’ = a pyridine triazole / pyrazine triazole/ triazine or imidazo based ligand and n = 2 or 3 have been synthesised and characterised. Chapter 3 focuses upon the synthesis, purification and structural characterisation of the complexes incorporating pyridine triazole ligands whereas Chapter 5 details the synthesis and structural characterisation of the complexes incorporating pyrazine, triazine, imidazole and triazole based ligands.
