摘要
An improved synthesis of (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(H)(2) has been devised (yield 88%) via (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(3) and (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(Br)(2). An X-ray crystallographic determination has shown that the hydride ligands occupy trans positions, in confirmation of IR and NMR measurements. The properties and reactions of trans-(eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)2(H)2 and related compounds (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re-(CO)(2)(X) (Y) (X = H, Me; Y = H, Me, Cl) are described. The solution photochemistry of trans-(eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(H)(2) in cyclohexane at 298 K and in liquid xenon at 200 K, including studies under Dir indicate that the primary photoproduct is the cis isomer and that trans to cis interconversion, which can be reversed thermally, is an intramolecular process. Photochemical studies of (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(N-2) in Liquid Xe under H-2 and D-2 pressures at 200 K gave cis-(eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(H)(2) and cis-(eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(D)(2), respectively. Matrix isolation studies at about 12 K, including (CO)-C-13 labelling, confirmed that the photoisomerisation process is an intramolecular process since no ejected CO is observed and no (CO)-C-13 uptake occurred. Subsequent photolysis affords H-2 and CO ejection yielding (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2) and (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(H)(2), respectively. In N-2 and CO matrices the subsequent photolysis also yielded (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(N-2) and (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(3) but in CH4 matrices there was no evidence of C-H photoactivation to yield (eta(5)-C5Me5)Re(CO)(2)(CH3) (H) Reversal from cis to trans could not be observed for gas matrices but was observed at near ambient temperatures for the cis isomer produced at about 12 K in Nujol mull media.
