title: Photochemical synthesis of mer-[Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl].
abstract: The mer isomer of Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) has been synthesized photochemically and isolated for the first time. The mer complex is a useful starting material for the synthesis of cis,cis-[Re(bpy)(CO)2(L)Cl]-type complexes.
