Synthesis and reactions of rhenium enyne, and vinylalkenylidene complexes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(94)80205-X

Reaction of Cp^*Re(CO)2(THF) with HC<*>CC(CH3)=CH2 produced the conjugated enyne complex Cp^*(CO)2Re<η²-HC<*>CC(CH3)=CH2> (1).Attempted preparation of an η³-propargyl complex by protonation of 1 with HBF4 failed.T
