Abstract
Cr, Mo and W tetracarbonyl complexes of 2-(2-pyridyl)benzoxazole (PBO) and 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (PBT) are spectroscopically characterised. The confirmatory structure of [Mo(CO) 4(PBO)] has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The complexes show negative solvatochromic effect, with increasing solvent polarity the MLCT band is shifted to longer wavelength region. Cyclic voltammetry shows M(I)/M(0) redox response and also exhibit fluorescence spectra at room temperature. The electronic structures of the complexes are calculated by density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent-DFT calculated results are used to explain redox property and electronic transitions.
