Photochemical reactions of and

(Ia) reacted in tetrahydrofuran with cyclopentadiene or cyclohexa-1,4-diene under UV irradiation to give (II), and a 1:2 mixture of and (III), respectively; III was isolated from the photochemical reaction of Ia with 3,3-dimethylbutene in benzene.When using (Ib) (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) instead of Ia in these three reactions, no cyclopentadienyl compound was obtained, but (IV) and (V) were isolated; IV and V are precursors to arene and cyclohexadienylrhenium derivatives containing dppe.

Activation of C-H bonds by rhenium. Catalytic intermolecular H/D exchange with (η6-C6H6)Re(PPh3)2H

The complex (η6-C6H6)Re(PPh3)2H is found to undergo slow photochemical loss of phosphine. The intermediate formed is capable of catalyzing H/D exchange between benzene-d6 and other arenes i
