                                The photophysical and phtochemical properties of fac-(RCO2)Re-I(CO)(3)L (R = ferrocene, L = phen, 2,2'-bpy; R = 4-(dimethylamino)benzyl (4-DMAB), L = phen) were investigated with continuous and flash photolyses. Their properties were compared with those of fac-(CH3CO2)Re-I(CO)(3)L (L = phen, 2,2'-bpy) complexes. On a femtosecond to 10 ps time scale, the transient spectra of the singlet Re(I) to L charge-transfer excited states, (MLCTRe -> L)-M-1, of fac-(RCO2)Re-I(CO)(3)L (R = ferrocene, 4-DMAB) transform into the spectra of two triplet excited states, the (MLCTRe -> L)-M-3 excited state and a Re(I) to RCO2- charge-transfer excited state, (MLCTRe -> RCO2)-M-3. The (MLCTRe -> RCO2)-M-3 and (MLCTRe -> L)-M-3 excited states have lifetimes that span 10(2) ns to several microseconds. The photodecarboxylation of fac-(RCO2)Re-I(CO)(3)L, initiated in ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer excited states, (LLCTRe -> L)-L-3, is markedly affected by the positions of the (MLCTRe -> RCO2)-M-3 and (MLCTRe -> L)-M-3 excited states. In addition, the low energy of (LLCTRCO2 -> L)-L-3 in the fac-(RCO2)Re-I(CO)(3)L (L = phen, 2,2'-bpy) complexes, relative to those of fac-(CH3CO2)Re-I(CO)(3)L (L = phen, 2,2'-bpy) decreases the efficiency of the photodecarboxylation reaction.
