Methyleneamido-complexes of rhenium
Abstract
Alkylimido-complexes [ReCl3(NR)(PR′3)2](PR′3= tertiary phosphine) react with bases such as pyridine to yield methyleneamido-complexes, which contain the group –NCHR (R = H or alkyl). Acids reconvert the methylene-amido-complexes into alkylimido-complexes.
