Sk. Mandal et al., THE PREPARATION AND X-RAY CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF THE 1ST HOMOBIMETALLICMU(ETA(2)-O,O'-ETA(1)-C) CARBON-DIOXIDE COMPLEX - (DPPP)(CO)2REO2CRE(CO)3(DPPP), Polyhedron, 12(11), 1993, pp. 1423-1425
The molecular structure of the title compound involves a carboxylate g
roup acting as a bidentate ligand to one rhenium atom, while acting as
a monodentate ligand to the other rhenium atom. It was prepared in a
one-step reaction by treating a THF solution of fac-(dppp)(CO)3ReCO2H
with solid KOH.
