Abstract: | Three new rhenium polyhydride complexes, [ReH7(L2)], incorporating bidentate organophosphorus ligands (L2 = DPEphos, xantphos and biphep), were successfully synthesized using the corresponding [ReOCl3(L2)] complexes as precursors. The polyhydride complexes were characterized by IR, 1H and 31P NMR, and elemental analysis. |
