Cg. Zhang et al., Synthesis, structure, and catalytic reactivity of N,N,S- and O,N,S-tridentate oxorhenium(V) complexes, INORG CHEM, 40(10), 2001, pp. 2437
Three new oxorhenium(V) catalysts have been synthesized; the one whose stru
ctural formula is shown was characterized crystallographically. These compo
unds catalyze oxygen atom transfer from pyridine N-oxide to tris(trimethylp
henyl)phosphine in chloroform at room temperature.
