Rhenium chelate complexes with maltolate or kojate

Novel rhenium complexes containing the maltolate (mal) or kojate (koj) anions as chelating ligands have been synthesized: [ReOCl(mal)2] (1), [ReOCl2(mal)(PPh3)] (2), [ReOBr2(mal)(PPh3)] (3), [ReOCl2(koj)(PPh3)] (4) and [ReOBr2(koj)(PPh3)] (5). The products have been characterized by FTIR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The crystal and molecular structures of all complexes were determined. Complex 1 crystallizes monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 8. It contains two O,O′-bidentate maltolate ligands and one chloro ligand at the (ReO)3+ unit, so that a distorted octahedral geometry is adopted by the six-coordinated rhenium(V) center. The chloro ligand occupies a cis position to the oxo ligand. Complexes 2 and 3 are isostructural and crystallize orthorhombic, space group Pbca and Z = 8. The isostructural complexes 4 and 5 crystallize monoclinic, space group P21/n and Z = 4. In complexes 2–5, the (ReO)3+ unit is coordinated by a monoanionic O,O-bidentate unit of the maltolate (2 and 3) or kojate (4 and 5) ligand, one triphenylphosphine and two halogeno ligands (Cl in 2 and 4; Br in 3 and 5), with the rhenium(V) center in a distorted octahedral environment. The halide ligands are in cis positions to each other.

A series of rhenium(V) complexes containing maltolate (mal) or kojate (koj) as ligand have been synthesized. The compounds [ReOCl(mal)2], [ReOCl2(mal)(PPh3)], [ReOBr2(mal)(PPh3)], [ReOCl2(koj)(PPh3)] and [ReOBr2(koj)(PPh3)] were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C and 31P) and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
