Mechanism of (μ-H)(μ-alkenyl)Re2(CO)8 Formation in 350 nm Flash Irradiations of Re2(CO)10

Abstract: The mechanism of (&mgr;-H)(&mgr;-alkenyl)Re(2)(CO)(8) formation upon UV irradiations of Re(2)(CO)(10) in presence of olefin (styrene, trans-stilbene, 4-methyl-1-cyclohexane, and ethylene) was investigated by laser flash photolyses. Such photoproducts result from reactions of the olefin with eq-Re(2)(CO)(9). No reactions of Re(CO)(5) leading to hydride alkenyl products were observed. Dependences of the reaction rate on olefin concentration and solvent revealed an additional intermediate formed after the additio… Show more

“…In these experiments, 20 ns flashes of 351 nm light were generated with a Lambda Physik SLL-200 excimer laser. 12, 13 Solutions for the photochemical work were deaerated with streams of ultrahigh purity N 2 before and during the irradiations. A flow-stop system ensured that fresh solution was introduced into the reaction cell in experiments where the photodecomposition of the complexes and/or formation of products interfered with the optical measurements.…”

“…Experimentally, neither of these two experiments revealed an inverse secondary KIE: the former gave a KIE of 1.39 and the later experiment gave KIE of 1.01. While rhenium carbonyl complexes are known to be able to cleave vinyl C–H bonds, the lack of a large primary KIE (>3) in any of the reactions in Scheme with deuterated analogs of 1-octene rule out any C–H bond breaking events occurring on the alkene at C1-, C2-, and C3-positions in the turnover-limiting step; these results are consistent with mechanisms shown in Scheme B.…”

“…Using 3,3- d 2 -oct-1-ene (3,3- d 2 - 2 ) in the reaction provided exclusively 3,3- d 2 - 3 . All of these observations are consistent with a reaction pathway that does not involve reversible cleavage of the allylic C–D bonds (e.g., Re−π-allyl complex) or the vinyl C–D bonds . The observations shown in Scheme are consistent with an irreversible hydrometalation process.…”

“…In this experiment, potential modulation was between E À 1.86 V and E ref À 1.16 V, i.e., DOD % DR/R [R À1.86 -R À1.16 ]/R À1. 16 . The spectrum in Fig.…”
