One-step assembly of Re(I) tricarbonyl 2-pyridyltetrazolato metallacalix[3]arene with aqua emission and reversible three-electron oxidation

The reaction of 2-pyridyltetrazolate with [Re(CO)5X] (X = Cl, Br) yielded the formation of an unexpected cyclic metallacalix[3]-arene, as revealed by X-ray structural studies, characterised by aqua emission and reversible three-electron oxidation.
