Synthesis, Characterization, Fluorescence and Antibacterial Activity of the Re(VII) Complex [ReO3(phen)(H2PO4)]・H2O

Abstract

Single crystals of a Re(VII) complex, the dihydrogenophosphato phenanthroline trioxo-rhenium monohydrate of formula [ReO3(phen)(H2PO4)]⋅H2O (phen=1,10-phenanthroline), were prepared in aqueous solution. X-Ray analysis shows that it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with the unit cell parameters: a=8.611(2), b=13.881(2), c=14.502(4) Å , β =120:87(2)°, V =1487.9(6) Å3 and Z = 4. In the neutral complex, the rhenium is in the oxidation state +VII, coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of the bidentate phen, three terminal oxygen atoms and, for the first time, one oxygen atom of the mono-deprotonated phosphoric acid ligand H2PO- 4 , forming a squarebased bipyramidal coordination geometry. The thermal stability, IR, UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic properties are given. The complex shows antimicrobial activity against five different microbes.
