- Description: The complex trans-[Re(dab)Cl3(PPh3)2] (H2dab = 1,2-diaminobenzene) was prepared from the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with H2dab in ethanol. The ligand dab is coordinated to the rhenium(V) centre through a dianionic imido nitrogen only in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the metal ion. The complex trans- [Re(ada)Cl3(PPh3)2] (H2ada = 2-aminodiphenylamine) was prepared from the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with H2ada in acetonitrile. The ligand ada is coordinated to the rhenium(V) centre through a dianionic imido nitrogen only, in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the metal ion. The ‘2 + 1’ complex fac- [Re(CO)3(Hamp)(amp)] (Hamp = 2-aminophenol) was isolated from the reaction of a two molar ratio of Hamp with [Re(CO)5Br] in toluene. The reaction of a 1:1 molar ratio of [Re(CO)5Br] and H2ada led to the isolation of the Re(I) complex, fac- [Re(CO)3Br(H2ada)]. The reaction of equimolar quantities of cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] with 5,6-diamino-1,3- dimethyluracil (H2ddd) in acetonitrile led to the formation of [Re(ddd)(Hddd)I(PPh3)2](ReO4). The X-ray crystal structure shows that the ligand ddd is coordinated monodentately through the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen and is therefore present as an imide. The chelate Hddd is coordinated bidentately via the neutral amino nitrogen, which is coordinated trans to the imido nitrogen, and the singly deprotonated amido nitrogen, trans to the iodide. The reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with N-(2-aminobenzylidene)-5-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil (H3dua) in ethanol gave a mixed crystal which contains both the neutral oxorhenium(V) complex [ReOCl(Hdua)] and the imido rhenium(V) [Re(dua)Cl2(PPh3)] in an equimolar ratio in the asymmetric unit. The reaction of equimolar quantities of [NH4(ReO4)] with H2ddd in methanol under reflux led to the isolation of [C12H12N6O4] as only product. The [ReO4]- anion is therefore instrumental in the formation of [C12H12N6O4], and since the product contains no rhenium in any oxidation state, the conclusion is that [ReO4]- catalyses the oxidative deamination Abstract I.N. Booysen Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University vii of H2ddd. The X-ray crystal structure consists of two centrosymmetric, tricyclic rings, comprising a central pyrazine ring and two terminal pyrimidine rings. The reaction of 2-(2-aminophenyl)benzothiazole (Habt) with [Re(CO)5Br] led to the isolation of the rhenium(I) complex fac-[Re(Habt)(CO)3Br]. With trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2], the ligand Habt decomposed to form the oxofree rhenium(V) complex [Re(itp)2Cl(PPh3)] (itp = 2-amidophenylthiolate). From the reaction of trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] with 2-(2- hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (Hhpd) the complex [ReVOBr2(hpd)(PPh3)] was obtained. The reaction of a twofold molar excess of H2apb (2-(2-aminophenyl)-1-benzimidazole) with trans-[ReO2(py)4]Cl in ethanol gave the green product of formulation [ReO(Hapb)(apb)] in good yield. The rhenium atom lies in a distorted trigonalbipyramidal environment. The two imidazole N(2) atoms lie in the apical positions trans to each other, with the oxo-oxygen and two amido N(1) atoms in the trigonal plane. A new nitrosylrhenium(II) complex salt, [Re(NO)BrL2(PPh3)2](ReO4) (H2L2 = 2-amino-5- (triphenylphosphino)phenol), is the first example of a complex containing the triphenylphosphonium-amidophenolate ligand L2, formed by the nucleophilic attack of a PPh3 on a coordinated amidophenolate ring. The complex salt trans-[Re(mps)Cl(PPh3)2](ReO4) (H3mps = N-(2-amino-3- methylphenyl)salicylideneimine) was prepared by the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with a twofold molar excess of H3mps. The X-ray crystal structure shows that the trianionic ligand mps acts as a tridentate chelate via the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen (an imide), the neutral imino nitrogen and the deprotonated phenolic oxygen. The six-coordinated complex cis-[Re(mps)Cl2(PPh3)2] was prepared by the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with a twofold molar excess of H3mps in benzene. The X-ray crystal structure show that the mps ligand coordinates as a tridentate chelate via the doubly deprotonated 2-amino nitrogen, the neutral imino nitrogen and the phenolate oxygen. The imide and phenolate oxygen coordinate trans to each other in a distorted octahedral geometry, around the rhenium(V) centre, with the two chlorides in cis positions. A new oxofree rhenium(V) complex salt, [Re(bbd)2](ReO4) ( H2bbd = N-(2- Abstract I.N. Booysen Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University viii aminobenzylidene)benzene-1,2-diamine), has been synthesized and the chelates bbd are coordinated as dianionic tridentate N,N,N-donor diamidoimines. The rhenium(V) ion is centered in a distorted trigonal prism. The rhenium(I) compound fac-[Re(CO)3(daa)].Hpab.H2O (Hpab = N1,N2-(1,2- phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide); Hdaa = 2-amino-N-(2-aminophenyl)benzamide) was synthesized from the reaction of [Re(CO)5Br] with a two equivalents of Hpab in toluene. The monoanionic tridentate ligand daa was formed by the rhenium-mediated cleavage of an amido N-C bond of the potentially tetradentate ligand Hpab. Daa is coordinated as a diaminoamide via three nitrogen-donor atoms. The reaction of a twofold molar excess of H2amben (H2amben = N1,N2-bis(2-aminobenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine) with trans- [ReOBr3(PPh3)2] gave the oxorhenium(V) cationic complex [ReO(amben)]X (X = Br-, PF6 -). The Re(V) oxo-bridged compound, {μ-O}[ReO(omben)]2.H2O (H2omben = N1,N2- bis(2-hydroxybenzylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine) was isolated from the reaction of a 2:1 molar ratio of H2omben and trans-[ReO2(py)4]Cl in methanol. The seven-coordinate rhenium(III) complex cation [ReIII(dhp)(PPh3)2]+ was isolated as the [ReO4]- salt from the reaction of cis-[ReVO2I(PPh3)2] with 2,6-bis(2- hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)pyridine (H2dhp) in ethanol. In the complex fac- [Re(CO)3(H2dhp)Br], prepared from [Re(CO)5Br] and H2dhp in toluene, the H2dhp ligand acts as a neutral bidentate N,N-donor chelate. An equimolar ratio reaction of 2-aminobenzaldehyde and 2-(2-aminophenyl)-1- benzimidazole in methanol led to 2-(5,6-dihydrobenzimidazolo[1,2-c]-quinazolin-6- yl)aniline. In an attempt to explore the template formation of this class of ligand with rhenium, the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2-(2-aminophenyl)-1-benzimidazole in ethanol which was followed by the addition of trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] led to the formation of the salt, 6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5,6-dihydrobenzimidazolo[1,2-c]quinazolin- 12-ium bromide. The compound 6-(2-methylthiophenyl)-5,6-dihydrobenzimidazolo[1,2- c]quinazolin-12-ium was synthesized via the reaction of 2-aminobenzaldehyde and 2- methylthiobenzaldehyde in methanol.

- Description: The neutral distorted octahedral complexes [ReOCl(L)] {H2L = N,N-bis(2- hydroxybenzyl)-2-(2-aminoethyl)dimethylamine (H2had), N,N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl) aminomethylpyridine (H2hap); N,N-bis(2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine (H2hae)} were prepared by the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with a twofold molar excess of H2L in ethanol. The X-ray structure determinations of [ReOCl(had)] and [ReOCl(hap)] were performed, and in both complexes the chloride is coordinated trans to the tripodal tertiary amino nitrogen, with a phenolate oxygen trans to the oxo oxygen. Treatment of trans-[ReO2(py)4]I with two equivalents and one equivalent each of H2had in acetone afforded the iodide salts of the oxypyridinium-ammonium zwitterions N1-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N2,N2- dimethyl-N1-((2-oxypyridinium)-1-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine [Hhpd]+ and N2,N2- dimethyl-N1-bis((2-oxypyridinium)-1-methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine [dod]+ respectively. In [Hhpd]I, one of the 2-hydroxyphenyl groups of H2had is substituted by an oxypyridinium group, and in [dod]I, both 2-hydroxyphenyl groups are converted. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the starting material H2had, [Hhpd]I and [dod]I reveals trigonal pyramidal geometries around the central amino nitrogen. The complex salt [ReO(bsa)]PF6 (H2bsa=bis(N-methylsalicylicylideneiminopropyl) amine) was prepared from the reaction of cis-[ReO2I(PPh3)2] with H2bsa in toluene. The dianionic pentadentate ligand bsa is coordinated to the ReO3+ moiety via one secondary amino and two imino nitrogens, and two anionic phenolate oxygens. The complex was characterized by spectroscopy and analytical data, and the structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry around the central rhenium(V) ion, with the basal plane being defined by a phenolate oxygen, two imino nitrogens and the secondary amino. ix A. Abrahams Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University The reaction of a two-fold molar excess of the potentially NN-donor ligand 2,2’- dipyridylamine (dpa) with trans-[ReO(OEt)Cl2(PPh3)2] in ethanol led to the isolation of [ReOCl2(OEt)(dpa)]. The X-ray crystal structure shows that the NN-chelated dpa is coordinated in the equatorial plane cis to the oxo and ethoxo groups, which are in trans positions relative to each other. The treatment of trans- [ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with a tenfold molar excess of dpa in ethanol at the refluxing temperature yielded the trans-dioxo complex [ReO2(dpa)2]Cl, but with a twofold molar excess only (μ-O)[{ReOCl2(dpa)}2] was isolated. Repeating the latter reaction with (n-Bu4N)[ReOCl4] as starting material in ethanol at room temperature a dark green product, also with the formulation (μ-O)[{ReOCl2(dpa)}2], was isolated. The reaction of equimolar quantities of bis(pyridin-2-yl)methyl)amine (HBPA) with (n-Bu4N)[ReOCl4] in acetone at room temperature led to the isolation of the sixcoordinate rhenium(V) complex [ReOCl(H2O)(BPA)]Cl. IR, NMR and X-ray crystallographic results indicate that BPA is coordinated as a tridentate uninegative chelate, with deprotonation of the amine nitrogen. The water molecule is coordinated trans to the oxo group, with the Re=O and Re-OH2 bond distances equal to 1.663(9) and 2.21(1) Å respectively. Complexes of the general formula [ReOX2{(C5H4N)CH(O)CH2(C5H4N)}] (X = Cl, I) were prepared by the reactions of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] and trans- [ReOI2(OEt)(PPh3)2] with cis-1,2-di-(2-pyridyl)ethylene (DPE) in ethanol and benzene in air. Experimental evidence shows that the coordinated DPE ligand has undergone addition of water at the ethylenic carbons, and that the (C5H4N)CH(O)CH2(C5H4N) moiety acts as a uninegative tridentate NON-donor ligand. The X-ray crystal structures of both complexes show a distorted octahedral geometry around the rhenium(V) centre. The treatment of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with H2dbd in a 2:1 molar ratio in acetonitrile led to the isolation of the ligand-bridged dimer (μ-dbd)[ReOCl2(PPh3)]2. The X-ray crystal structure of the complex reveals a dinuclear structure in which two rhenium(V) ions are bridged by the dbd ligand. Each rhenium ion is in a x A. Abrahams Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University distorted octahedral geometry. The basal plane is defined by a phosphorus atom of the PPh3 group, two chlorides cis to each other, and a pyridyl nitrogen atom of dbd. The oxo group and alcoholate oxygen of dbd lie in trans axial positions. The complexes cis-[ReOX2(msa)(PPh3)] (X = Cl, Br, I) were prepared from trans- [ReOCl3(PPh3)2], trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] or trans-[ReOI2(OEt)(PPh3)2] with 2-(1- iminoethyl)phenol (Hmsa) in acetonitrile. An X-ray crystallographic study shows that the bonding distances and angles in the comlexes are nearly identical, and that the two halides in each complex are coordinated cis to each other in the equatorial plane cis to the oxo group. The oxo-bridged dinuclear rhenium(V) complex [(μ-O){ReOCl(amp)}2] was prepared by the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] and 6-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl- 4-azahept-2-ene-1-one (Hamp) in acetone. The characterization of the complex by elemental analysis, infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography shows that amp is coordinated as a monoanionic NNO-donor chelate as an amino-amido ketone. However, the reaction of the similar ligand 7- amino-4,7-dimethyl-5-aza-3-octen-2-one (Hada) with [Re(CO)5Br] produced the product fac-[Re(CO)3Br(Hada)], with Hada coordinated as a neutral NN-donor amino-imino-ketone.

The water molecule is coordinated trans to the oxo group, with the Re=O and Re-OH2 bond distances equal to 1.663(9) and 2.21(1) Å respectively. Complexes of the general formula [ReOX2{(C5H4N)CH(O)CH2(C5H4N)}] (X = Cl, I) were prepared by the reactions of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] and trans- [ReOI2(OEt)(PPh3)2] with cis-1,2-di-(2-pyridyl)ethylene (DPE) in ethanol and benzene in air. Experimental evidence shows that the coordinated DPE ligand has undergone addition of water at the ethylenic carbons, and that the (C5H4N)CH(O)CH2(C5H4N) moiety acts as a uninegative tridentate NON-donor ligand. The X-ray crystal structures of both complexes show a distorted octahedral geometry around the rhenium(V) centre. The treatment of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] with H2dbd in a 2:1 molar ratio in acetonitrile led to the isolation of the ligand-bridged dimer (μ-dbd)[ReOCl2(PPh3)]2. The X-ray crystal structure of the complex reveals a dinuclear structure in which two rhenium(V) ions are bridged by the dbd ligand. Each rhenium ion is in a x A. Abrahams Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University distorted octahedral geometry. The basal plane is defined by a phosphorus atom of the PPh3 group, two chlorides cis to each other, and a pyridyl nitrogen atom of dbd. The oxo group and alcoholate oxygen of dbd lie in trans axial positions. The complexes cis-[ReOX2(msa)(PPh3)] (X = Cl, Br, I) were prepared from trans- [ReOCl3(PPh3)2], trans-[ReOBr3(PPh3)2] or trans-[ReOI2(OEt)(PPh3)2] with 2-(1- iminoethyl)phenol (Hmsa) in acetonitrile. An X-ray crystallographic study shows that the bonding distances and angles in the comlexes are nearly identical, and that the two halides in each complex are coordinated cis to each other in the equatorial plane cis to the oxo group. The oxo-bridged dinuclear rhenium(V) complex [(μ-O){ReOCl(amp)}2] was prepared by the reaction of trans-[ReOCl3(PPh3)2] and 6-amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl- 4-azahept-2-ene-1-one (Hamp) in acetone. The characterization of the complex by elemental analysis, infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography shows that amp is coordinated as a monoanionic NNO-donor chelate as an amino-amido ketone. However, the reaction of the similar ligand 7- amino-4,7-dimethyl-5-aza-3-octen-2-one (Hada) with [Re(CO)5Br] produced the product fac-[Re(CO)3Br(Hada)], with Hada coordinated as a neutral NN-donor amino-imino-ketone.
