Electrochromic polymer films containing Re(I) and Pt(II) metal centers.
Three Re(I) complexes (3, 5, and 7) (Re(CO)3Cl(L)2) and three new Pt(II) complexes (4, 6, and 8) ([Pt(P(Et)3)2(L)2](OTf)2), where L = pyridine, 1 (4-Py-EDOT) or 2 (4-Py-bithiophene), were prepared and characterized. The solid-state structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Electrochromic polymeric films of 2, 5, and 6 were prepared and characterized.
