Platinum( ii )-CN/SCN-rhenium( i ) luminophores adopting multiple aggregation states

Key Points

• This study investigates the solid-state luminescence behavior of platinum-rhenium complexes in different aggregation states.
• Examines platinum( ii )–rhenium( i ) bichromophoric complexes under varying solvents and counteranions for luminescence changes.
• Observes reversible changes in solid-state luminescence attributed to dimer configurations.
• Demonstrates significant switching in luminescence due to conformational changes of noncovalently bound dimers.
• Identifies specific solvents and counteranions that influence luminescence intensity and color.
