Synthesis, properties and X-ray crystal structure of schiff base organoimido complexes of rhenium(V)

Abstract Re(NR)Cl 3 (PPh 3 )( 2 (R = p-CH 3 C 6 H 4 , CH 3 ) react with polydentate ligands (LH = N-methyl-, N-phenyl-, N-tolyl-salicylideneimine, half, N,N′-ethylenebis-, half N,N′-propylenebis-(salicylideneimine), 8-hydroxyquinoline and LH 2 = N-2-hydroxyphenylsalicylideneimine) to yield complexes of the type Re(NR)Cl 2- (L)PPh 3 . With 8-hydroxyquinoline the bisubstituted Re(NR)Cl(L) 2 complexes are also obtained. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight, and i.r. spectra. The crystal and molecular structures of two arylimido complexes, Re(p-CH 3 C 6 H 4 N)Cl 2 )RNCHC 6 H 4 O)PPh 3 with R = C 6 H 5 or CH 3 , were determined from X-ray crystallography base…
