SYNTHESIS, SPECTROSCOPY, AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF 6-COORDINATE BIS(ARYLDIAZENIDO)RHENIUM AND BIS(DIARYLHYDRAZIDO)RHENIUM COMPLEXES - X-RAY STRUCTURES OF (ET(4)N)[RE(NNPH)(2)(O2C6H4)(2)], (ET(4)N)[RE(NNPH(2))(2)(O2C6H4)2], AND NA[RE(NNPH)(2)(O2C6H4)2]CENTER-DOT-CH3CN

The reactions of the cis-dioxorhenium(VII)-catecholate complex [(CH3CH2)(4)N][ReO2(O2C6H4)(2)] (1) With either monosubstituted organohydrazines (C6H5NHNH2; 4-BrC6H4NHNH2) or 1,1-disubstituted organohydrazines (Ph(2)-NNH2) yield the cis-bis(diazenido) core complexes [(CH3CH2)(4)N][Re(NNR)(2)(O2C6H4)(2)] (5, R = C6H5; 6, R = 4-BrC6H4) and the cis-bis(hydrazido) core species [(CH3CH2)(4)N][Re(NNPh(2))(2)(O(2)C36H(4))(2)] (7) Elution of 5 in a 3:1 mixture of toluene/methanol on a column of silica gel resulted in cation exchange to give Na[Re(NNPh)(2)-(O2C6H4)(2)].CH3CN (8) as a one-dimensional polymer {[Na(CH3CN)](+)[Re(NNPh)(2)(O2C6H4)(2)](-)}(2).
