Novel rhenium complexes with terminal thiocarbonyl groups have been synthesized from ReCl3(Me2PhP)3 and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. mer-(Diethyldithiocarbamato)tris-(dimethylphenylphosphine)(thiocarbonyl)rhenium(I), mer-[Re(CS)(Me2PhP)3(Et2dtc)], and tris(diethyldithiocarbamato)(thiocarbonyl)rhenium(III), [Re(CS)(Et2dtc)3] have been studied by infrared and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.
mer-[Re(CS)(Me2PhP)3(Et2dtc)] crystallizes orthorhombic in the space group Pna21 with a = 1516.1(2), b = 2189.8(2) and c = 1035.6(1) pm. Structure solution and refinement converged at R = 0.042. The coordination geometry is a distorted octahedron. The Re—C bond length is found to be 184(2) pm.
[Re(CS)(Et2dtc)3] crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P21/c with a = 962.2(6), b = 1744.0(2), c = 1537.4(6) pm and β = 96.21(1)°. The final R value is 0.028. In the monomeric complex the rhenium atom is seven-coordinate with an approximate pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination sphere and a rhenium-carbon distance of 181(1) pm.
