Synthesis and structural analysis of rhenium(V) polyhydride complexes
by Gorre, Sudeepa, M.S., TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY - KINGSVILLE, 2009, 43 pages; 1481688

Abstract:

The purpose of this work is to synthesize and study the structural properties of rhenium (v) polyhydride complexes bound to anionic ligands. In this report, we synthesized rhenium (V) polyhydride complexes stabilized by an iodine donor ligand, and two other nitrogen donor ligands 4-hydroxy quinazoline and 2-quinaxalinol. The structural properties of the compound tetrahydridoiodotris triphenylphoshine rhenium [ReH4I(PPh 3)2] were studied by using NMR spectroscopy at various reachable temperatures.

An attempt to synthesize rhenium polyhydride complex stabilized by the acetonitrile ligand was unsuccessful rhenium pentahydride complex as the starting reactant. The other two synthesized rhenium (V) polyhydride complexes stabilized by 4-hydroxy quinazoline and 2-quinaxalinol were confirmed by using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
