Application

Used to study π-electron deficient complexes between tricarbonylhalorhenium and diimine ligands and also to prepare [3]-ferrocenophane complexes. Employed in preparation of a series of mixed-valence compounds of rhenium and iron these compounds find application in the study of charge-transfer processes.

Other Notes

The Re(I) dimer complex, [fac(CO)3(phen)Re1-N(py)COORe2(phen)fac(CO)3]+ (py = pyridine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), contains two different Re(I) centers 9.3 Å apart, one with a nitrogen donor and the other with an acetate donor from the bridging isonicotinate ligand. The complexes were characterized
