The reaction between Re2(CO)10 and PPh3 in refluxing xylene has been re-examined.The main products are 1,2-diaxial Re2(CO)8(PPh3)2 and mer-trans-HRe(CO)(PPh3)2.A range of other products have been isolated by chromatographic procedures and their production rationalised.The previously reported isolable paramagnetic products have not been confirmed, but evidence is presented for their formation as unstable intermediates.
