A number of orthometalated rhodium compounds of general formula [Rh(ppy)2(L)] (PF6), with ppy = pyridin-2-yl-2-phenyl and L = 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L1), 1-methyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L2), 1-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L3), 4-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L4), 3-methyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (L5), 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole (L6), 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (L7), and 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-(2-thienyl)-1,2,4-triazole (L8) are reported. NMR spectroscopy has been used to characterize the coordination modes of the ligands in the complexes. The reduction potentials of the coordinated triazole ligands have been determined electrochemically, and a linear correlation between the first reduction potentials of the several [Rh(ppy)2(L)]+ and [Ru(L)3]2+ complexes has been observed. The similar energies for the lowest energy absorption bands (∈ = 6000 M-1 cm-1) for all complexes suggest that this band is due to a Rh → ppy (π*) MLCT transition. Emission measurements have revealed that phenylpyridine-based-ligand-centered luminescence is present at 77 K.
