Photo-induced ligand substitution at a remote site via electron transfer in a porphyrin-appended rhenium carbonyl supermolecule.
The photochemical and electrochemical properties of a Zn-porphyrin appended rhenium(I) tricarbonyl bipyridine 3-Me-pyridine complex have been investigated; visible-light sensitisation of electron transfer results in ligand substitution at a site remote from the chromophore.
