Abstract: | The dark red octahydride complex of dirhenium, Re2H8(PPh3)4, undergoes a reversible one-electron oxidation to the blue mono-cation Re2H8(PPh3)4]+ (E ?0.24 V vs. SCE by cyclic voltammetry). The X-band ESR spectrum of a dichloromethane glass (?160°C) containing the monocation is in accord with the HOMO being a delocalized metal-based orbital. Treatment of the heptahydrides ReH7(PR3)2 (PR3 = PPh3 or PEtPh2) with C6H11NC or Me3CNC in the presence of KPF6 leads to the elimination of hydrogen and the formation of Re(CNR)4(PR3)2]PF6. Electrochemical oxidation of ReH5(PPh3)2L (L = PPh3, PEt2Ph, pyridine, piperidine or cyclohexylamine) activities these molecules to attack by RNC to afford rhenium(I) species |
