Efficient direct nitrosylation of a-diimine rhenium tricarbonyl complexes to structurally nearly identical higher charge congeners activable towards photo-CO release
Abstract:The reaction of rhenium α-diimine (N-N) tricarbonyl complexes with nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate yields the corresponding dicarbonyl-nitrosyl [Re(CO)2(NO)(N-N)X] + species (where X = halide). The complexes, accessible in a single step in good yied, are structurally nearly identical higher charge congeners of the tricarbonyl molecules. Substitution chemistry aimed at the realization of equivalent dicationic species (intended for applications as potential antimicrobial agents), revealed that the reactivity of me… Show more
