Abstract: The electrochemical properties, the energy level and the band gap of a series of phosphorescent Re(I) complexes, (L)Re(CO)3Cl(L=α,α-diamine) were studied by using cyclic voltammetry(CV) together with the UV-Vis absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra and the self-consistent B3LYP quantum chemical calculation methods. Based on the results, the energy level of (L)Re(CO)3Cl were obtained and the influencing rule of ligands was also drawn. (L)Re(CO)3Cl complexes have a single oxidation peak and many reduction peaks. These peaks reflect the HOMO and LUMO energy level of (L)Re(CO)3Cl complexes, which were made up of Re—Cl hybrid orbital and π* orbital of diamine ligands, respectively. Compared with the results from the spectra, the band gap results of (L)Re(CO)3Cl complexes calculated from CV mainly correspond to the triplet energy level.
