Oxorhenium(V) Complexes with Thiosemicarbazones

Neutral oxorhenium(V) complexes with thiosemicarbazones derived from 2‐pyridine formamide, HL¹, are formed when [ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] reacts with equimolar amounts of the ligands. Reduction of the metal and the formation of rhenium(III) complexes of the composition [Re(L¹)₂]⁺ occurs when an excess of thiosemicarbazones is used and the reaction is performed in boiling toluene for a prolonged period of time. The thiosemicarbazones deprotonate and act as tridentate ligands as has been confirmed by an X‐ray structure of [ReOCl₂(L^1b)], where HL^1b is 2‐pyridineformamide‐N(4)‐ethylthiosemicarbazone and the ligand occupies the equatorial coordination sphere of the complex together with one of the chloro ligands.     

Transition Metal Complexes with the Thiosemicarbazide-based ligands. XII. Complexes of nickel(II) with benzoylacetone S-methylisothiosemicarbazone and N(1)-2-butylidene-4-oxo-4-phenyl-N(4)-salicylidene-S-methylisothiosemicarbazide

A template synthesis procedure yielded [Ni(HL¹)NH₃]I, where HL¹ is the monoanion of the terdentate ONN benzoylacetone S-methylisothiosemicarbazone ligand. The reaction of this complex with an excess of NH₄NCS, pyridine, or hydrazine resulted in the complexes [Ni(HL¹)(NH₃)NCS] and [Ni(L¹)A] (A = Py, N₂H₄). The monoanionic form of the ligand is obtained by deprotonation of the enolic form of the benzoylacetone moiety, whereas the dianion is formed by additional deprotonation of the terminal NH₂ group. Finally, the reaction of [Ni(HL¹)NH₃]I with salicyladehyde produced the NiL² complex in which L² stands for the dianion of the ONNO ligand N(1)-2-butylidene-4-oxo-4-phenyl-N(4)-salicylidene-S-methylisothiosemicarbazide. All complexes are diamagnetic and have a square-planar configuration, except for [Ni(HL¹)(NH₃)NCS], for which te data of i.r. spectra suggest a square-pyramidal structure. The electronic absorption spectra of the ethanolic solutions of all complexes are characteristic of typical square-planar coordination of nickel(II).

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von [ReNCl(NPPh2C6H4)]2 · [Ph3PNH2]Cl · CH3CN,einem rheniumorganischen Nitrido-Phosphaniminato-Komplex

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [ReNCl(NPPh₂C₆H₄)]₂ · [Ph₃PNH₂]Cl · CH₃CN, a Rhenium Organic Nitrido Phosphoraneiminato Complex The title compound is synthesized by the reaction of ReNCl₄ with Me₃SiNPPh₃ in boiling acetonitrile, forming colourless crystals, which are characterized by an X-ray structure determination. Space group P1 , Z = 2, 4 037 observed unique reflections, R = 0.043. Lattice dimensions at 19°C: a = 1 005.5; b = 1 695.2; c = 1 744.7 pm, α = 105.86°; β = 101.49°; γ = 104.45°.

In the nitrido phosphoraneiminato complex the rhenium atoms are μ₂-bridged via the N-Atoms of the phosphoraneiminato ligands. Because of this bridging and a Re? Re bond, one terminal nitrido ligand, one terminal chloro ligand, and a Re? C bond of an -C-atom of one phenylene group of Re-atoms attain co-ordination number six.     

Rhenium‐Dicarbonyl‐Nitrosyl‐Komplexe mit Imidazol

Rhenium Dicarbonyl‐Nitrosyl Complexes with Imidazole Different rhenium‐dicarbonyl‐nitrosyl complexes with imidazole (Im) as monodentate ligand have been synthesized and characterized, starting from [NEt₄][ReCl₃(CO)₂(NO)] and [ReCl(μ?Cl)(CO)₂(NO)]₂. Whereas the complexes [ReCl₂(Im)(CO)₂(NO)] and [ReCl(Im)₂(CO)₂(NO)]⁺ were achieved in high yields, the complex [Re(Im)₃(CO)₂(NO)]²⁺ with three imidazole ligands could only be isolated after complete removal of all halide ions (with AgBF₄) in low yield. The synthesis of a corresponding ^99mTc‐dicarbonyl‐nitrosyl complex with imidazole opens a new perspective for such compounds as potential radiopharmaceuticals and alternatives to the already established ^99mTc‐tricarbonyl complexes.
