The reaction of Re(CO) 3 (THF) 2 Cl with (Cymen)RuCl 2 (Cymen = p methyl iso propylbenzene) in benzene gave the known heterometallic complex (Cymen)Ru(μ Cl) 3 Re(CO) 3 (I), which was converted to the heterometallic complex (Cymen)Ru(μ S tert Bu) 3 Re(CO) 3 (II) on treatment with tert butylmercaptan and triethylamine. Treatment of I with sodium tellurophenolate in THF results in the formation of the ionic complex [(Cymen)Ru(μ TePh) 3 Ru(Cymen)] + [(CO) 3 Re(μ TePh) 3 Re(CO) 3 ] -(III) with homobinuclear cat ion and anion. The structures of II and III were determined by X ray diffraction (CIF files CCDC nos. 1022559 (II) and 1022560 (III)).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
