Preparation of Rhenium Diamino Dithiolate Complexes. The X-Ray Crystal Structure of Oxo(1,1,8,8-tetraethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-dithiolato)rhenium

Abstract

The complexes oxo (1,1,8,8-tetraethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-dithiolato)rhenium[ ReO ( tedadt )], oxo (1,1,8,8-tetraethyl-4,4-dimethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-dithiolato)rhenium [ ReO ( tedmdadt )] and (1,1,4,4,8,8-hexamethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-dithiolato) oxorhenium [ ReO ( hmdadt )] were prepared. The crystal structure of the complex ReO ( tedadt ) was determined by X-ray crystallography to be a hydrogen-bonded dimer . This is the first example of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in rhenium diamino dithiolate ( dadt ) complexes.
