Co-condensation of rhenium atoms with the arenes 1,3,5-R3C6H3, R3 = MeH2 or Me3, or 1,4-Me2C6H4 gives the compounds 2(μ-CHR')(μ-H)2>, where R' = Ph, 3,5-Me2C6H3, or 4-MeC6H4 respectively, which contain a μ-arylidene group; the structurally related compounds 2(μ-CR1R2)(μ-H)2>, where R1,R2 = Me, Ph or H, CH2Ph, are formed from rhenium atoms and ethylbenzene.
