Abstract

Thermal treatment of three monobridged biscyclopentadienes (C5H5)R(C5H5) [R = C(CH3)2 (1), C(CH2)5 (2), Si(CH3)2 (3)] with Re2(CO)10 in refluxing mesitylene gave the corresponding complexes [(η 5-C5H4)2R][Re(CO)3]2 [R = C(CH3)2 (4), C(C5H10) (5), Si(CH3)2 (6)], which were separated by chromatography, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of complexes 5 and 6 were characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis and show that both are monobridged bis(cyclopentadienyl)rhenium carbonyl complexes in which the molecule consists of two [(η 5-C5H4)Re(CO)3] moieties linked by a single bridge, in which each of the two Re(CO)3 units is coordinated to the cyclopentadienyl ring in an η 5 mode. All three of these monobridged bis(cyclopentadienyl)rhenium carbonyl complexes have good catalytic activities in Friedel–Crafts alkylation reactions.
