A modified synthetic route to [Re(O)(tp*)Cl-2] {tp* =HB(3.5-Me2C3HN2)(3)} f
rom Re2O7 is described. The reaction between Bu4N[Re(O)Cl-4] and Ktp* affor
ds, as its main product, the unsymmetrically substituted binuclear ore-brid
ged complex [{Re(O)Cl(3,5Me(2)C(3)HN(2)H)(3)}(mu-O) {Re(O)Cl-3(3,5-Me2C3HN2
H)}] (1) together with some of the known symmetrically substituted isomer [
{Re(O)Cl-2(3,5-Me2C3HN2H)(2)}(mu-O) {Re(O)Cl-2(3.5-Me2C3HN2H)(2)}] (2). Bot
h isomers were characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of
the CH2Cl2 solvates. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
