REACTION OF THIOLATO-LIGANDS WITH RHENIUM HYDRIDES .3. COMPLEXES OF MERCAPTOPYRIDINES - THE SYNTHESES AND X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF [REHF(2-SC5H4N)(2)(PME(2)PH)(2)]BF4 AND [REH(2-SC5H4N)(PME(2)PH)(4)]BF4
Jr. Dilworth et al., REACTION OF THIOLATO-LIGANDS WITH RHENIUM HYDRIDES .3. COMPLEXES OF MERCAPTOPYRIDINES - THE SYNTHESES AND X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF [REHF(2-SC5H4N)(2)(PME(2)PH)(2)]BF4 AND [REH(2-SC5H4N)(PME(2)PH)(4)]BF4, Polyhedron, 15(5-6), 1996, pp. 953-959
The hydride complex [ReH5(PMe(2)Ph)(3)] reacted with 2-mercaptopyridin
e (pySH) in the presence of HBF4 giving [ReH(pyS)(PMe(2)Ph)(4)]BF4 (1)
and [ReHF(pyS)(2) (PMe(2)Ph)(2)]BF4 (2). The X-ray structures of both
complexes have been determined and are discussed. The known complex [
ReH(pyS)(2)(PPh(3))(2)] and new [ReH(SipyS)(2)(PPh(3))(2)] (3) have be
en prepared directly from [ReOCl3(PPh(3))(2)], NaBH4 and the appropria
te thiol. Analogous reaction of [ReOCl3(dppe)] (dppe = Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2
)PPh(2)) with pySH gave [ReH4(pyS)(dppe)] (4).
