Wg. Wu et al., STABLE BOAT AND CHAIR ISOMERS OF DIMETAL COMPLEXES CONTAINING THE [M-2(MU-DPPM)(2)] UNIT (M=RE DPPM=PH2PCH2PPH2), Chemical communications, (8), 1997, pp. 755-756
Reactions of the triply bonded complexes [Re2Br3(mu-dppm)(2)(CO)(CNR)]
Y (dppm=Ph2PCH2PPh2; R=2,6-dimethylphenyl; Y=O3SCF3, PF6) with RNC aff
ord edge-sharing bioctahedral complexes of the type [Re-2(mu-Br)(2)(mu
>-dppm)(2)Br(CO)(CNR)(2)]Y, which are shown to contain Re-Re single bo
nds and exist in novel isomeric forms with boat and chair conformation
s for the Re-2(mu-dppm)(2) unit.
