Jr. Dilworth et al., Rhenium complexes of 2-triorganosilylthiophenolate ligands. The syntheses and structures of [(Bu4nN)-N-n][ReO(2-Ph3SiC6H4S)(4)] and [Re(2-Ph2MeSiC6H4S)(3)(MeCN)(PPh3)], POLYHEDRON, 18(3-4), 1998, pp. 501-509
Reaction of the thiolates HSC6H4SiR3-2 (R-3 = Ph-3, Ph2Me, PhMe2) with a ra
nge of Re precursors leads to the new complexes [ReH3(SC6H4SiPh2Me-(2))(2)(
PPh3)(2)], [ReO(SC6H4SiPh2Me-2)(3)(PPh3)], [Re(OMe)(SC6H4SiPh3-2)(2)(MeCN)(
PPh3)] and [Re(SC6H4SiPh3-2)(2)(MeOH)(NO)(PPh3)}]. The dependence of the pr
oduct on the nature of the silyl substituents and the X-ray crystal structu
res of [ReO(SC6H4SiPh3-2)(4)][(Bu4N)-N-n] . Me2CO and [Re(SC6H4SiPh2Me-2)(3
)(MeCN)(PPh3)] are discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights res
