Abstract
Abstract Halopentacarbonylrhenium(I) complexes (chloro and bromo) and di-μ-bromooctacarbonyldirhenium(I) react with 2-cyanoethyl phenyl sulfide (L) to yield complexes of the stoichiometry Re(CO)3L2 and Re(CO) 4LX respectively. Spectroscopic evidence indicates that in these complexes the ligand functions as a monodentate donor utilizing the nitrile-nitrogen lone pair. The Re(CO)3L2X readily lose one L to yield Re2 (CO)6L2X2. Infrared spectroscopic evidence suggests that the dimers are halogen bridged and that L functions as a nitrile donor.
