Abstract
The monocarbonyl complex Re2Cl4(µ-dppm)2(CO) reacts with xylyl isocyanide in acetonitrile to afford the bioctahedral complex (CO)Cl2Re(µ-dppm)2 ReCl2(CNxyl), 2b. This is a different structural isomer from the edge-sharing bioctahedral complex Cl2Re(µ-Cl)(µ-dppm)2ReCl(CNxyl) or this same stoichiometry which A formed when acetone is be reaction solvent. The complex2b reacts with a further equivalent of xylNC in the presence of TlO3SCF3 in dichloromethane to form a red complex of composition [Re2Cl3(µ-dppm)2 (CO)(CNxyl)2]O3SCF3. 3, which has the open bioctahedral structure [(xylNC)2ClRe(µ-dppm)2ReCl2(CO)]O3SCF3. This is a third isomeric form of this dirhenium cation: the previously isolated green and yellow forms have edge-sharing bioctahedral structures. Crystal data for3 at 295 K: orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) witha=22.654(5) Å,b=22.717(4) Å,c=27.324(4) A,V= 14061(7) Å3, andZ = 8. The structure was refined to R = 0.059 (R, = 0.134 ) for 14164 data. The Re-Re distance is 2.3833(8) Å.
