Synthesis and characterisation of rhenium dithiocarbamate complexes. Crystal structures of [ReO{O(OH)C6H4}(S2CNEt 2)2], [Re{PPh2(C6H4S-2)}2 (S2CNEt2)]·Me2CO and [ReO{PPh(C6H4S-2)2}(S2 CNEt2)]

distorted-octahedral geometry with the oxo group trans to the
monodentate catecholate ligand. The Re–O (catechol) bond length
is typical of a Re–O single bond and implies little
trans influence of the oxo ligand. Reaction of
