Abstract

The hitherto unknown series of complexes fac-[Re(CO)3Br{R2P(S)P(S)R2}] 1a-5a (1a, R = Me; 2a, R = Et; 3a, R = nPr; 4a, R = nBu; 5a, R = Ph) and [Re2(CO)8Br2{cis-μ-R2P(S) P(S)R2}] 1b-5b [lb, R = Me; 2b, R = Et; 3b, R = nPr; 4b, R = nBu; 5b, R = Ph] have been prepared by the photochemical reaction of Re(CO)5Br with R2P(S)P(S)R2. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectroscopy (EI), FT-IR and 31P{1H} NMR spectrometry. The spectroscopic studies suggest cis-chelate bidentate coordination of the ligand in fac-[Re(CO)3Br{R2P(S)P(S)R2}] and cis-bridging bidentate coordination of the ligand between two metals in [Re2(CO)8Br2{cis-μ-R2P(S)P (S)R2}] (R = Me, Et, nPr, nBu, Ph). An X-ray diffraction study of [ReBr(CO)3(Et2P(S)P(S)Et2)] confirms that the rhenium adopts a distorted octahedral geometry with local Cs symmetry.
