Chlorine-atom abstraction and cluster fragmentation in the reaction of H3Re3(CO)10(MeCN)2 with the diphosphine ligand 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione (bpcd): X-ray diffraction structure of fac-ClRe(CO)3(bpcd)

Treatment of the activated trirhenium cluster H3Re3(CO)10(MeCN)2 with the diphosphine ligand 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione (bpcd) in CH2Cl2 does not afford the expected cluster product H3Re3(CO)10(bpcd) but rather the mononuclear complex fac-ClRe(CO)3(bpcd). The identity of fac-ClRe(CO)3(bpcd) was determined in solution by IR and NMR (1H and 31P) spectroscopies and the solid-state structure was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. fac-ClRe(CO)3(bpcd) crystallizes in the triclinic space P-1, a = 9.958(2) Å, b = 11.991(3) Å, c = 13.676(3) Å, α = 73.230(4)°, β = 73.806(4)°, γ = 77.409(4)°, V = 1484.6(6) Å3, Z = 2, and d calc = 1.723 Mg/m3; R = 0.0367, R w  = 0.0857 for 4253 reflections with I > 2σ(l).
