General description

Rhenium is a very hard, corrosion, and wear-resistant rare metal with ahigh atomic number. It is widely used in the field of catalysis and the preparationof alloys for jet engines.

Application

Rhenium can be used as a working electrode for electrochemical hydrogen evolution reactions.

It can be used as an additive to prepare a molybdenum-titanium-zirconium (TZM) alloy joint to improve its tensile strength.

It can also be used as a catalyst for various hydrodeoxygenation reactions.

The development of rhenium(I) chemistry has been restricted by the limited structural and electronic variability of the common pseudo-octahedral products fac-[ReX(CO)3L2] (L2 = α-diimine). We address this constraint by first preparing the bidentate bis(imino)pyridine complexes [(2,6-{2,6-Me2C6H3N=CPh}2C5H3N)Re(CO)3X] (X = Cl 2

Transition-metal complexes of the types [Re(CO)(3)Cl(NN)], [Re(CO)(3)py(NN)](+), and [Cu(PPh(3))(2)(NN)](+), where NN = 4,4'-bis(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-2,2'-bipyridine (OX) and 4,4'-bis(N,N-diphenyl-4-[ethen-1-yl]-aniline)-2,2'-bipyridine (DPA), have been synthesized and characterized. Crystal structures for [Re(CO)(3)Cl(DPA)] and [Cu(PPh(3))(2)(OX)]BF(4) are presented. The crystal structure of the rhenium complex shows a trans
