Abstract
Reaction of 4,6-dimethylpyrimidine-2(1 H )-thione (Me 2 pymSH) with mer -[ReOCl 3 (Me 2 S)(OPPh 3 )] synthon in 1:1 molar ratio in refluxing acetone, results in the replacement of the Me 2 S ligand to form the mer -[ReOCl 3 (Me 2 pymSH)(OPPh 3 )] species. X-ray diffraction shows that the structure of the title compound consists of monomeric units with a distorted octahedral coordination around the rhenium(V) centre which includes the axial ReO and ReOPPh 3 bonds, and in which three Cl − ions and a S-monodentate neutral Me 2 pymSH ligand act as equatorial ligands. The compound was also characterised using electrochemical measurements and UV–Vis–NIR and IR spectroscopy.
