Abstract

Advanced molecular design of rhenium(I) complexes with application-specific properties has been a key driver in the development of new rhenium carbonyl and isocyano complexes. This article reviews the preparation, reactivity, and properties of rhenium carbonyl and isocyano complexes reported after 2005. New synthetic methodologies, including photochemical, mechanical, and microwave-assisted reactions, used to increase functionalization within these complexes are discussed. Moreover, selected popular topics, including photophysics, photocatalysis, photosensitization, and biomedical applications of these complexes, are also reviewed. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
