Alkyl-ligand α-CH interaction with a rhenium–oxygen multiple bond in ReO2R3, R = CH2CMe3 or CH2SiMe3
Abstract
An X-ray crystallographic analysis of ReO2(CH2CMe3)3 and variable temperature 1H n.m.r. studies involving ReO2R3, R = CH2CMe3 or CH2SiMe3, suggest that α-C–H ⋯ ORe interactions occur in the complexes.
