Abstract The reactions of the quadruply bonded dirhenium(III) carboxylatescis-Re2(μ-O2CR)2X4L2 (X=CI or Br; L=a monodentate donor) with monodentate, bidentate, and tridentate phosphine donors result in several types of redox behavior, usually involving partial or complete reductive decarboxylation of the dirhenium unit. Examples of dirhenium(VI, II), dirhenium(IV, II), dirhenium(III, II), and dirhenium(II, II) complexes, in which Re-Re bond orders of 4, 3.5, 3, l, or zero are encountered, have been isolated and repre-sentative examples structurally characterized. The course of these reactions is dependent upon the nature of the phosphine. The scope of this remarkably rich chemistry is discussed.
