Abstract

The complex [Re2(CO)8(MeCN)2] 1 reacted with thiols or H2S, respectively, by SH oxidative addition in toluene at 80 °C to give hydrido sulfido bridged dirhenium complexes of the general formula [Re2(µ-H)(µ-SR)(CO)8] (R = H 2a, n-Bu 2b, Cy 2c, Ph 2d, C6H4F-p 2e, C6F5 2f or 2-naphthyl 2g) in 60 to 80% yield. Complexes 2c and 2g have been characterised by crystal structure analysis. Complex 2a undergoes reaction with another equivalent of 1 to form the novel spirocyclic complex [{Re2(µ-H)(CO)8}24S)] 3. In order to demonstrate the acidity of the µ-H ligand 2g was deprotonated by the base 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene to give the anion [Re2(µ-S(2-naph))(CO)8] 4 (naph = naphthyl) which can be isolated as its PPh4+salt. This reacts with one equivalent of [MCl(PPh3)] (M = Au, Ag or Cu) to give the novel heteronuclear cluster complexes [Re2(MPPh3)(µ-S(2-naph))(CO)8] (M = Au 5a, Ag 5b or Cu 5c) and PPh4Cl. The molecular structures of 5a and 5b have been established by single crystal X-ray analysis.
