Synthesis and structure of a novel binuclear rhenium(I) complex containing an unusual bridging ligand derived from coordinated acetonitrile. Unusual reactivity of [Re(CO)₃(bpy)(MeCN)]⁺

Abstract

[Re(CO)₃(bpy)(MeCN)]⁺ forms a novel binuclear rhenium(I) complex containing a N[triple bond, length half m-dash]CCH[double bond, length half m-dash]C(CH₃)NH bridge derived from the reaction of the coordinated acetonitrile with NaH; the crystal structure of which has been determined.
