The reaction of [(HN3N)ReOCl] (1) that contains the unsymmetric tren-based ligand HN3N = ({C6F5NCH 2CH2}2 NCH2CH2CH 2NHC6F5)2- with samarium diiodide leads to the formation of the iodide compounds [(N3N)ReI] (2) and [(HN3N)ReOI] (3). The reduction reaction also generates the unusual rhenium(IV) compound [(HN3N*)ReX] (4, X = 0.35 % F and 0.65 % I,), where the amine ligand HN3N* = ({C6F 5NCH2CH2}2 NCH2CH 2CH2NHC6F4)3- is involved in an intramolecular C-F bond activation. The larger 6-membered metallacycle formed by the propylene amido substituent facilitates ortho metallation. All compounds have been characterized by single crystal X-ray analyses.
