New Dirhenium(III)compounds bridged by carboxylate ligands: N(C4H9){Re2(OOCCF3)Cl6} and Re2(OOCCCHCo2(CO)6)4Cl2

Abstract

The solvothermal reaction of (N(C4H9)4)2[Re2Cl8] with trifluoroacetic acid and acetic anhydride leads to the new rhenium trifluoroacetate dimer N(C4H9)4[Re2(OOCCF3)Cl6] (1) and to the rhenium carbonyl dimer Re2(μ2-Cl)2(CO)8 as the rhenium-reduced byproduc
