The reaction of equimolar quantities of trans -[ReOCl 3 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] and 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hhqn) in benzene led to the isolation of the six-coordinate complex [ReOCl 2 (hqn)(PPh 3 )] ( 1 ). With 2-pyridine-ethanol (Hhep) the compound [ReOCl 2 (hep)(PPh 3 )] ( 2 ) was obtained. Both hqn and hep ligands act as monoanionic bidentate N , O -donor chelates. Although the two complexes are very similar, there are some significant differences in certain bond distances and angles in them. Both complexes contain the nearly linear trans O=Re–O axis, with this angle equal to 160.9(2)° and 167.8(1)° in 1 and 2 , respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complex [ReOI 2 (ame)(PPh 3 )] (Hame=2-(2-aminophenyl)ethanol) was prepared from trans -[ReOI 2 (OEt) (PPh 3 ) 2 ] and Hame in benzene. It contains an unusually long Re=O bond (1.717(5) Å) and a large trans O=Re-O (ethanolate) bond angle of 171.4(2)°. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reaction of a twofold molar excess of 2-amino-3-methylbenzoic acid (H 3 amb) with cis -[ReO 2 I(PPh 3 ) 2 ] in ethanol led to the isolation and characterization of the six-coordinate [Re(amb)(OEt)I(PPh 3 ) 2 ] ( 1 ). The X-ray crystal structure of 1 illustrates that the trianionic ligand amb acts as a bidentate chelate via the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen, which is present in 1 as an imide, and the deprotonated acetoxy oxygen. The Re=N bond length is 1.751(3) Å, and the Re=N-C angle [143.6(3)°] deviates considerably from linearity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
