Dirhenium carbonyl complexes bearing 2-vinylpyridine, morpholine and 1-methylimidazole ligands
摘要:
Treatment of the labile compound [Re-2(CO)(8)(MeCN)(2)] with 2-vinylpyridine in refluxing benzene affords exclusively the new compound [Re-2(CO)(8)(mu-eta(1):eta(2)- NC5H4CH=CH2)] (1) in 39% yield in which the mu-eta(1):eta(2)-vinylpyridine ligand is coordinated to one Re atom through the nitrogen and to the other Re atom via the olefinic double bond. Reaction of [Re-2(CO)(8)(MeCN)(2)] with morpholine in refluxing benzene furnishes two compounds, [Re-2(CO)(9)(eta(1)-NC4H9O)] (2) and [Re-2(CO)(8)(eta(1)-NC4H9O)(2)] (3) in 5% and 29% yields, respectively. Reaction of [Re-2(CO)(8)(MeCN)(2)] with 1-methylimidazole gives [Re-2(CO)(8){eta(1)-NC3H3N(CH3)}(2)] (4) and the mononuclear compound fac-[ReCl(CO)(3){eta(1)-NC3H3N(CH3)}(2)] (5) in 18% and 26% yields, respectively. In the disubstituted compounds 2 and 4, the heterocyclic ligands occupy equatorial coordination sites. The mononuclear compound 5 consists of three CO groups, two N coordinated eta(1)-1-methylimidazole ligands and a terminal Cl ligand. The XRD structures of complexes 1, 3 and 5 are reported.
