Rhenium complexes containing an η2-thiocarbamoyl group: synthesis, electrochemistry, and crystal structure of [Re(S2CNEt2)2(SCNEt2)(PPh3)]ClO4
Abstract
A new redox couple of rhenium complexes, [ReIII(S2CNEt2)2(SCNEt2)(PPh3)] and [ReIV(S2CNEt2)2(SCNEt2)(PPh3)]ClO4, has been isolated and electrochemically characterized; the η2-co-ordination of the N,N-diethylthiocarbamoyl group in the latter has been confirmed by X-ray analysis.
