Synthesis, crystal structure, electrochemical and magnetic properties of (NBu4)[ReCl5(L)] with L=pyrimidine and pyridazine
Abstract Two novel rhenium(IV) compounds, namely (NBu4)[ReCl5(pym)] (1) and (NBu4)[ReCl5(pyd)] (2) (pym = pyrimidine, pyd = pyridazine and NBu4 = n-tetrabutylammonium cation), have been obtained by reaction of [ReCl6]2− and the diazine in dmf, and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of [ReCl5(pym)]− or [ReCl5(pyd)]− anions and NBu 4 + cations held together by electrostatic forces and van der Waals interactions. Stacking interactions are present only in 1. The coordination sphere of the ReIV ion is defined by five chloride anions and one nitrogen atom of a monodentate diazine, resulting in a distorted octahedral environme…
A novel series of rhenium-bipyrimidine complexes: synthesis, crystal structure and electrochemical properties
Four novel rhenium complexes of formula [ReCl(4)(bpym)] (1), [ReBr(4)(bpym)] (2) PPh(4)[ReCl(4)(bpym)] (3) and NBu(4)[ReBr(4)(bpym)] (4) (bpym = 2,2'-bipyrimidine, PPh(4) = tetraphenylphosphonium cation and NBu(4) = tetrabutylammonium cation), have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of [ReX(4)(bpym)] molecules held together by van der Waals forces. In both complexes the Re(iv) central atom is surrounded by four halide anions and two nitrogen atoms of a bpym bidentate ligand in a distorted octahedral environment. The structures of 3 and 4 consist of [ReX(4)(bpym)](-) anions and PPh(4)(+) () or NBu(4)…
