Abstract: | Reaction of the quadruply bonded dirhenium(III) complexes (n-Bu4N)2Re2X8 (X = Cl, Br, or I) with 2-hydroxypyridine (Hhp) in refluxing n-pentanol gives Re2(hp)4X2 in high yield (>;90%). These complexes are reduced by cobaltocene to yield the paramagnetic salts (η5-C5H5)2Co]Re2(hp)4X2]. The spectroscopic (electronic absorption and infrared) and electrochemical properties of these sets of complexes are in accord with them possessing σ2π4δ2(Re26+) or σ2π4δ2δ*1(Re25+ ground state electronic configurations. |
