Abstract

In the presence of triphenylphosphine Cp*ReCO3reacts with aryl isothiocyanates in an equal equivalence via an intermediate (Cp*ReO)2(μ-O)2 to give novel unsymmetrical dirhenium oxo complexes with a [Re2O2] core, {Cp*ReO}{Cp*Re[OC(S)N(Ar)]}(μ-O)2 (la: Ar=C6H5; lb: Ar=m-F3CC6H4), while under the same conditions a monorhenium oxo complex Cp*Re(O)[OC(O)N(Ph)] (2) as the main product and an unsymmetrical dirhenium oxo complex {Cp*ReO} {Cp*Re[OC(O)N(Ph)]}(μ-O)2 (3) are afforded from the reaction of Cp*ReO3 with aryl isocyanates. By contrast, only (Cp*ReO)2(μ-O)2 is formed from the reaction of Cp*ReCO3with alkyl isothiocyanates in the presence of triphenylphosphine. Both unsymmetrical dirhenium oxo complexes 1 and 3 can further react with a large excess of aryl isothiocyanates and -isocyanates to form symmetrical dirhenium complexes {Cp*Re[OC(X)N(Ph)]}2(μ-O)2 (4: X=S; 5: X=0).
