Al. Mejdrich et Tw. Hanks, STRUCTURES OF (ETA(1)-FLUORENYL)RE(CO)(5) AND (ETA(5)-FLUORENYL)RE(CO)(3) AND THEIR THERMAL INTERCONVERSION IN SOLID MATRICES, Synthesis and reactivity in inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, 28(6), 1998, pp. 953-973
The crystal structures of (eta(1)-fluorenyl)Re(CO)(5) (1) and (eta(5)-
fluorenyl)Re(CO)(3) (2) are described and the thermal conversion of (1
) to (2) in polymer matrices is demonstrated. The reverse reaction cou
ld not be effected in solid matrices.
