A simple synthetic procedure (reaction between Re(CO)5Cl and 2-[(E)-(phenylimino)methyl]- or 2-[(E)-(n-propylimino)-methyl]-phenol) leads to novel dimeric Re2(CO)6(N∩O−)2 complexes with the structures confirmed by means of X-ray crystallography. The obtained species have been characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–VIS absorption, and EI-MS spectroscopy. The solvolysis experiments performed in dimethylsulfoxide solutions point to well pronounced stability of the investigated species.
Graphical abstractA simple procedure (reaction in boiling toluene between Re(CO)5Cl and Schiff base ligands LH synthesized from salicylic aldehyde and alkyl or aryl amines) leads to novel center-symmetric dimeric complexes Re2(CO)6(L−)2.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights► Schiff base derivatives of salicylic aldehyde LH react with Re(CO)5Cl with formation of dimeric species with general formula of Re(CO)6(L−)2. ► The synthesized complexes have been characterized using EI-MS, UV-VIS, and IR spectroscopy. ► Centre-symmetric structures of the investigated complexes have been confirmed by means of X-ray investigations.
