摘要:
The reaction of [ReX(CO)(5)] (X=Br, H) with the bidentate phosphinite ligand 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinite)ethane (L-L), synthesized by reaction of PPh2Cl and ethylene glycol in a 2:1 ratio in the presence of NEt3, at room temperature, affords the mononuclear rhenium(I) complexes fac-[ReBr(CO)(3)(L-L)] (1) and fac-[ReH(CO)(3)(L-L)] (2). The coordination geometry of the complexes was established by diffraction studies and confirmed by spectroscopic data of both complexes. Compound 1 crystallizes in the P2(1)/c (No. 14) monoclinic space group while the hydride complex does so in P2(1) (No. 4). The coordination polyhedron around the rhenium atom in both cases is a slightly distorted octahedron with three carbonyl groups in facial positions. The link of the bidentate ligand to the metal atom leads to a seven-membered ReP2O2C2 ring, adopting a conformation better described as a twisted chair. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
