The excited-state characteristics of a series of 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (terpy), 2,6-di(thiazol-2-yl)pyridine (dtpy) and 2,6-di(pyrazin-2-yl)pyridine (dppy) derivatives as well as their corresponding Re(I) complexes [ReCl(CO)3(Ln-κ2N)] were investigated both experimentally and theoretically, and the crucial effect of pyrrolidine substituent and peripheral rings on the optical and electrochemical properties was found evident. For Re(I) complexes bearing the ligands with electron-rich pyrrolidine substituent, different emission profiles were found in polar and non-polar solvents, indicating a change in the character of the excited state. Dual-emission effect of [ReCl(CO)3(L4-κ2N)] and [ReCl(CO)3(L5-κ2N)] in chloroform was attributed to the presence of two emitting states, identified as an 1ILCT excited state deactivated at higher energies and a longer-lived red-shifted phosphorescence assigned to the 3MLCT excited state. The triplet excited state was confirmed by recording the nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectra for the compound [ReCl(CO)3(L4-κ2N)]. To verify the charge transfer problem of low-lying excited states of the free ligands, the Λ parameter was calculated. In addition, the compounds were applied as emitting layers for both non-doped and doped single-layer organic light-emitting diodes fabricated by solution processing.
