A novel rhenium(III) complex with bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane: X-ray structure and DFT calculations for [ReCl3(bpzm)(PPh3)]

The [ReCl₃(MeCN)(PPh₃)₂] complex reacts with bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (bpzm) to give [ReCl₃(bpzm)(PPh₃)]. This compound has been studied by IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, magnetic measurement and X-ray crystallography. The molecular orbital diagram of [ReCl₃(bpzm)(PPh₃)] has been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method. The spin-allowed triplet–triplet electronic transitions of [ReCl₃(bpzm)(PPh₃)] have been calculated with the time-dependent DFT method, and the UV–Vis spectrum of the title compound has been discussed on this basis. The magnetic behavior is characteristic of a mononuclear d⁴ low-spin octahedral Re(III) complex (³T_1g ground state) and arises because of the large spin–orbit coupling (ζ = 2500 cm⁻¹), which gives a diamagnetic ground state.

[M(CO)2(NO)], a new core in bioorganometallic chemistry: model complexes of [Re(CO)2(NO)] and [Tc(CO)2(NO)]

In this study selected bidentate (L²) and tridentate (L³) ligands were coordinated to the Re(I) or Tc(I) core [M(CO)₂(NO)]²⁺ resulting in complexes of the general formula fac-[MX(L²)(CO)₂(NO)] and fac-[M(L³)(CO)₂(NO)] (M = Re or Tc; X = Br or Cl).

Most of the reactions were performed with cold rhenium on a macroscopic level before the conditions were adapted to the n.c.a. level with technetium (^99mTc). Chloride, bromide and nitrate were used as monodentate ligands, picolinic acid (PIC) as a bidentate ligand and histidine (HIS), iminodiacetic acid (IDA) and nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as tridentate ligands.
