The chemistry of rhenium alkyls. Part I. Synthesis and properties of oxorhenium(VI) methyl and trimethylsilylmethyl compounds

Konstantinos Mertis,   David H. Williamson  and  Geoffrey Wilkinson  

Abstract

The interaction of [ReO(Cl)3(PPh3)2] and [ReOCl4] with methyl-lithium forms the paramagnetic d1 complex [ReOMe4]. Interaction of [ReO(Cl)3(PPh3)2] with Me3SiCH2MgCl gives the blue paramagnetic [ReO(CH2SiMe3)4] and the diamagnetic [Re2O3(CH2SiMe3)4].

Both oxotetra-alkyl compounds are thermally very stable; although [ReOMe4] is air-sensitive, [ReO(CH2SiMe3)4] is unaffected by air. E.s.r. and electronic absorption spectra (reported separately) and i.r. spectra are consistent with a square-based pyramidal structure for the oxotetra-alkyls. The i.r. spectrum of [Re2O3(CH2SiMe3)4] is consistent with a structure containing linear Re–O–Re and cis Re[double bond, length half m-dash]O groups.
