Synthesis and Characterization of Phenylimidorhenium(V) Compounds containing Polypyridyl Ligands. Crystal Structures of mer-, trans-2 and trans-PF6 (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)

The reaction between mer- and aniline in refluxing o-xylene gave phenylimido compounds formulated as mer-.These compounds do not react with an alcohol (ROH) to form alkoxyimido compounds of the type cis-, but in the presence of an excess of the polypyridyl ligand, salts of the cation trans-(2+) were obtained.When salts of trans-(2+) were dissolved in MeCN solutions containing a few drops of concentrated hydrochloric acid rapid reactions occurred that resulted in the isolation of mer-.The salt trans-PF6 was prepared from the reaction between mer-trans- and 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (terpy) in refluxing ethanol.The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of these compounds were investigated and the structures of mer-, trans- and PF6 determined by X-ray crystallography.
