Abstract

The neutral, mononuclear complex [ReO(mta) 2 Cl] (1) [Hmta=2-(methylmercapto)aniline] was prepared by reaction of trans -[ReOCl 3 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] with a twofold molar excess of Hmta in methanol. The oxo-bridged dimer (μ-O)[ReO(mta) 2 ] 2 (2) was synthesized by reacting [ReOCl 3 (PPh 3 ) 2 ] with a twofold excess of Hmta in a 9:1 acetone/water mixture. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopy and complex 1 also by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1 has a distorted octahedral geometry with the chloride coordinated trans to the oxo group, and with the chelating ligands in the equatorial plane in a cis-N cis-S configuration.
